"Mr President, the resumption of aid is welcomed with great relief. With Syria’s civil war in its fourth winter, the World Food Programme’s suspension of aid due to a shortage of funds would have a devastating impact on thousands of refugees. The cycle of the large-scale crisis has stretched humanitarian organisations to their limits. Despite the increase in humanitarian funding, the gap between need and available resources keeps growing. It is not enough simply to strive for the better use of scarce resources, although funding humanitarian emergencies must be a top priority.
It is even more crucial that we sever the problem from the roots. There is a direct link between the humanitarian situation in Syria and the international response. If the international community had cooperated earlier on in dealing with the brutal Assad regime, the humanitarian situation would not have spiralled out of control. Even the elimination of ISIS will not end radicalised opposition. New groups in Syria are likely to emerge to fill the void. We must tackle the radicalisation by addressing the desperate human aid needs today. It is our moral responsibility to help the refugees."@en1
