United Nations, Mar 17 (UNI) Governments across the world have a 'moral obligation' to help Syrians 'unite around a vision for their common future', finally bringing an end to eight years of brutal conflict, said the UN Secretary-General.
“As the conflict enters its ninth year, Syrians continue to suffer from one of the worst conflicts of our time,” said António Guterres, in an appeal for international action.
“Hundreds of thousands have been killed, many more maimed physically and psychologically, millions remain displaced, tens of thousands are detained and missing, hundreds of thousands have died and Syrians in the northeast and northwest remain under constant fear of yet another humanitarian catastrophe unfolding”, he said.
