SYRIA: UN AGENCIES ASSIST THOUSANDS DISPLACED BY RECENT DEADLY
VIOLENCE IN BANIYAS AREANew York, May 10 2013 1:00PMUnited Nations
agencies today said they have begun distribution of emergency
assistance to thousands of Syrians who were recently displaced by
alleged massacres in Baniyas and its surrounding areas.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is
<"http://www.wfp.org/news/news-release/wfp-distributes-emergency-food-assistance-syrians-fleeing-tartous">distributing
ready-to-eat food rations and high-energy biscuits to families who
were forced to flee Baniyas and surrounding villages on Syria's
Mediterranean coast to Tartous city.

WFP aims to distribute supplied to more than 10,000 people – mainly
women and children – in gathering points and shelters in communities
such as Zamrin, Breej and Mrah, near Tartous city. Following the
emergency ration, families will be given WFP's regular food basket
which includes rice, bulgur, sugar, pasta, vegetable oil and lentils.

According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
(OHCHR), images of piles of bloodied and burned bodies, including of
small children and babies, have been emerging – allegedly taken after
Government forces and militia overran al-Bayda and other parts of
Baniyas last week.

WFP warned that ongoing classes on the main route between Tartous and
the capital, Damascus, would significantly disrupt the movement of WFP
cargo to the agency's warehouse in the capital city. This poses a
great risk as more than 60 per cent of all food stored in that
warehouse – enough for one million people – arrived from Tartous Port
through the Damascus-Homs highway, which was witnessing heavy
fighting.

The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) is supplying hygiene and children's
clothing to the displaced families through the Syrian Arab Red
Crescent. In a briefing to reporters in Geneva, UNICEF spokesperson
Marixie Mercado said three trucks were also heading from Damascus to
Tartous to distribute hygiene kits, clothing and high energy biscuits.

Ms. Mercado also drew attention an increasing number of damaged or
destroyed schools in the country. According to the ministry of
education, there are now over 2,960 damaged and destroyed schools out
of a total of over 22,000 schools in Syria. Some 1,400 schools are
being used as shelters, and 222 education staff had been killed.

She added that next week UNICEF will deliver 10 prefabricated schools
to Adra in rural Damascus and one school in Damascus, the first
instalment of a total of 104 pre-fabricated schools provided to meet
the huge demand for safe placed to learn across the country.May 10
