In the New York Times: The Syrian refugee crisis
January 21, 2013
By The IRC
A Syrian mother and her baby in the Domiz refugee camp, northern Iraq.
"More than 60,000 innocent civilians have been slaughtered in President Bashar al-Assad’s desperate bid to retain power in Syria. In the two-year reign of terror, he has also forced staggering numbers of Syrians to relocate within the country or flee across the border, creating a disaster that is threatening to destabilize the region. The international community has an obligation to do more to ease the suffering."
- An editorial in today's New York Times, stressing the need to ensure aid for those trapped by the Syria crisis. The editorial cites a new International Rescue Committee report that calls aid levels for the crisis insufficient and spotlights forsaken urban refugees and ongoing sexual violence as issues that need urgent attention.
