UN Unable to Deliver Humanitarian Aid

HeadlineJul 24, 2006

In Sidon, a top city official, Abdul Rahman Al-Bisri, said the area urgently needs assistance.

  • Abdul Rahman Al-Bisri: “But we are not receiving any help at all from the international community, international community. NGOs, international NGOs have just appeared now in town, they are still assessing the situation but I am afraid that the response will be too little too late.”

The United Nations refugee agency announced on Sunday that tons of humanitarian aid material have been stuck in Syria because there is no safe route to reach people driven from their homes. 80 percent of Lebanon’s highways and 95 percent of bridges have been damaged.
