5 jaar oorlog: “May this anniversary be the last one.”

After five years of a brutal and senseless conflict………….Syria today is a very different place – almost unrecognizable in parts – that will take generations to rebuild.
The United Nations, NGOs and partners have seized new opportunities to reach people who have had nothing for a very long time. ……..
While we are starting to get basic supplies to communities who have been cut off for months or more, it is just not enough. For example, we are extremely concerned about the situation in northern rural Homs and in Aleppo, where around 500,000 people are caught behind active frontlines. Two million people are in areas controlled by ISIL.
No one wants to see a sixth year of conflict start on 15 March.
Young people across Syria need to hope and believe that their future lies in their homeland. That they will have education, healthcare, homes and jobs. That life holds more than fear, violence and hunger.
We use our collective voice to call on all parties, local and international, for this anniversary to be the last one and for the political talks to bring real peace and an end to the suffering in Syria.
