UN CENTRAL EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND RELEASES $50 MILLION TO ASSIST
SYRIANSNew York, Sep 13 2013 6:00PMThe United Nations will allocate
$50 million to bolster the efforts of agencies assisting the growing
number of Syrians affected inside the country and throughout the
region, the largest ever contribution to support coordinated response
to a single country, according to the world body's humanitarian arm.

"Conditions for Syrians fleeing the conflict in their country get
worse by the day. I am releasing $50 million to help United Nations
agencies in the region keep pace with the growing demand,"
Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief
Coordinator Valerie Amos
<"https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/CERF/CERF%20Press%20release%20OCHA%20SYRIA%20allocation%2013Sept2013.pdf">said
about the allocation from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund
(CERF).

"The CERF contribution represents a show of solidarity with the people
of Syria as the funds come from donors, large and small, across the
world," added Ms. Amos, who recently returned from a visit to the
region.

More than one-third of Syrians urgently need humanitarian aid but the
crisis is affecting everyone, she said at the time, as the currency
has significantly depreciated and essential infrastructure has been
destroyed, including health facilities.

The CERF contribution will provide 20 million to support aid
operations inside Syria, $15 million to scale up efforts in Lebanon,
another $10 million to help the recent influx of Syrian refugees in
Iraq, and the remaining $5 million will boost humanitarian programmes
in Jordan.

As many as 100,000 people have been killed, more than 2 million have
fled to neighbouring countries and a further 4 million have been
internally displaced since fighting began in March 2011 between the
Syrian Government and opposition groups seeking to oust President
Bashar Al-Assad.

Also today, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said an increased number of
Syrians were arriving in Southern Europe, mainly from Damascus.

Spokesperson Adrian Edwards
<"http://www.unhcr.org/5232e41e9.html">told journalists in Geneva that
3,300 Syrians, of whom 230 were unaccompanied children, arrived by
boat in southern Italy during the previous 40 days, as compared with a
total of 670 in the previous week.

Several people needed hospital treatment for dehydration and there had
been instances of people being directly airlifted from the boat, he
added.

In addition, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) today urged greater
access in Syria to reach hungry families.

Spokesperson Elisabeth Byrs said as more areas of Syria were becoming
inaccessible due to insecurity, the UN agency needed humanitarian
access "to avoid a situation in which hunger would become an
additional factor that pushed even more people to flee the country."

Meanwhile, a UN-appointed human rights probe said it has evidence that
pro-Government forces deny medical care to those from
opposition-controlled and affiliated areas as a matter of policy,
according to a note from the Geneva-based Human Rights Council.

In a paper to be presented on Monday and published on Wednesday, the
International Commission of Inquiry on Syria is to report that
pro-Government forces implement that policy through attacks on medical
units, by endangering hospitals, targeting medical personnel and
interfering with patients receiving treatment.

The denial of medical care as a weapon of war is a "chilling reality
of the war in Syria", the Human Rights Council said.Sep 13 2013
