A statement by the main UN agencies has called for the international community to take action against the “carnage” in Syria.
In a rare joint statement by the heads of the WHO, Unicef, Ocha, WFP and UNHRC, the agencies have called for more than just funds to solve the Syrian conflict.
The agencies said there was "an insufficient sense of urgency among the governments and parties that could put a stop to the cruelty and carnage in Syria".
"The needs are growing while our capacity to do more is diminishing,
“We are precariously close, perhaps within weeks, to suspending some humanitarian support", the statement said, blaming insecurity and the lack of funds.
But the statement further said the appeal was "not for more resources, needed as they are".
"We are appealing for something more important than funds. To all involved in this brutal conflict and to all governments that can influence them:
"In the name of all those who have so suffered, and the many more whose futures hang in the balance: Enough! Summon and use your influence, now, to save the Syrian people and save the region from disaster. "
