DESPITE VIOLENCE AND LIMITED ACCESS, UN AGENCIES CONTINUE AID DELIVERY
IN SYRIANew York, Jul 19 2013 2:00PMWhile violence continues unabated
in many parts of Syria, United Nations agencies are working to deliver
humanitarian assistance, in spite of difficult security conditions and
restricted access to various areas, a spokesperson for the world body
said today.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA), violence in the eastern governorates as well as in
rural Damascus and Dera'a is limiting access for humanitarian aid, and
many areas where assistance is urgently needed remain inaccessible.

"The Office also says that overall insecurity and a proliferation of
checkpoints are slowing down movement of humanitarian goods, and
bureaucratic processes continue to delay aid delivery and impede the
efficiency of the emergency response," UN spokesperson Martin Nesirky
told reporters in New York.

"Nonetheless, humanitarian organizations continue to increase their assistance."

Mr. Nesirky said the World Food Programme (WFP) is planning to
increase its distributions to reach 3 million people, up from the
current 2.5 million, by late 2013.

In addition, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in
the Near East (UNRWA) has reached more than 58,000 people with food
assistance and 59,000 people with cash assistance in the past two
weeks.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has also continued its work inside
the country, supporting the ministry of health in Damascus with
essential and communicable disease medicines to treat more than 90,000
people.

Since fighting began in March 2011 between the Syrian Government and
opposition groups seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad as many as
100,000 people have been killed, almost 2 million have fled to
neighbouring countries and a further 4 million have been internally
displaced. In addition, at least 6.8 million Syrian require urgent
humanitarian assistance, half of whom are children.

Earlier this week, senior UN humanitarian and human rights officials
warned that the worsening situation in the country has led to an
unprecedented need for assistance that is not sustainable, and urged a
swift political solution to put an end to the conflict.Jul 19 2013
