UN warns that 90% of Syrians are below poverty line, while millions face cuts in food aid
The UN humanitarian chief has warned that the 12-year conflict in Syria has pushed 90 per cent of its population below the poverty line, and that millions face cuts in food aid next month because of a funding shortfall. Martin Griffiths said that the USD5.4 billion UN humanitarian appeal for Syria – the world's largest – is only 12 per cent funded, meaning that emergency food aid for millions of Syrians could be cut by 40 per cent in July. Griffiths delivered the grim news to the UN Security Council along with an appeal to members to renew the authorization for the delivery of aid to the country's rebel-held northwest from Turkey, which expires July 10.
