Syria: A human tragedy

On Thursday (29 August) ICRC spokesperson Dibeh Fakhr said:<br><br>&quot;The situation in Syria is a human tragedy with alarming consequences. The human suffering has reached unprecedented levels and there appears to be no end in sight. The humanitarian needs are immense. There are acute shortages of vital medical supplies, food and water especially in areas that have been sealed off since months now and to which the ICRC and Syria Arab Red Crescent has not been given access.<br>
