Syria: Humanitarian assistance desperately needed in Madaya, Zabadani, Foua and Kefraya
The people of Syria are on their knees. The economy has collapsed, essential infrastructure like water and power networks are hanging by a thread, and on top of that a very cold winter is bearing down. 12 million people inside Syria are in dire need of help.
The priority of the ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent is to bring assistance to 400,000 people living in besieged areas, such as Madaya, Zabadani, Foua and Kefraya.
