Readers' blog: Suffering in Syria cannot be allowed to continue
As Syria nears the eighth anniversary of conflict, 500,000 people have been killed, 6.5m people have fled, and 6m are displaced.
As Irish humanitarian agencies working across Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and Iraq, we have witnessed the impact of eight years of war and displacement on every aspect of life. In 2018, Concern, Goal, and Trócaire collectively addressed the most urgent needs of 2m people. We would like to acknowledge the support of both the Government and the Irish people in ensuring that we continue to reach those most in need.
