The humanitarian situation in Syria has deteriorated dramatically in the last weeks as in addition to the increasing violence the harsh winter with low temperatures, rain and now snow hampers aid efforts. An estimated 4 million people are affected by the violence. By UN estimates, at least 2 million have been internally displaced in Syria. There are now more than 623,000 refugees registered or awaiting registration in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and North Africa. |
