Syrians braced for their worst winter since the war began, UN says

NEW YORK, 26 October 2022, (TON): Members of the UN Security Council on Tuesday expressed dismay at the ongoing hostilities in northwestern Syria that in the past two months alone have caused the deaths of more than 90 civilians, including 35 children.

According to the latest UN report “this, a cholera outbreak across all of the country’s governorates, and rising fuel prices that are forcing families to choose between keeping warm or eating have further increased the humanitarian needs in the war-ravaged country to the point where they have reached their highest-ever levels.”

As Syrians once again prepare for a bitterly cold winter, 6 million people need assistance to survive, a figure that has grown by 30 percent since last year.
