Martin Griffiths, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, United Nations / Emergency Relief Coordinator, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, explains the challenges facing aid delivery in Syria.

He said “Across Syria, the ongoing hostilities, the decline in essential services, prolonged water shortages, and a dire economic situation are all serving to increase people’s reliance on sparce and scarce humanitarian aid. Access challenges, including daily security incidents, are constraining our ability to safely deliver essential assistance and to directly engage with affected populations.”
