Syria and Humanitarian Aid

The International Rescue Committee has conducted a survey that will (most likely) put 22.4 Million people in Syria in 2014 in a postition for starvation and without housing. The UN has announced it's biggest ever appeal for $6.5bn or (6,500,000,000) for humanitarian aid for Syria. It is projected by the UN two thirds of Syria will be in need for supplies and other things in 2014. A quarter of a million are already cut off from any help at all and are in the worst condition of the needy already. World leaders need to step up and meet the human needs that exist.
