Four years ago, lets get more now from gabriel who is at the United Nations for us. Gabriel, just remind us, what did the Security Council hear about the situation in syria . Well, they heard a very grim and dark report on the situation in syria from stephen obrien, the top humanitarian official, host just in syria a little bit over a week ago, so he has a very recent and front and center view of the situation there in the country. He said that there are 4. 6 million syrians living in hard to reach areas or besees areas and the country is having a very hard time getting aid to those people. He told the Security Council that the u. N. Has only been able to reach about 12 of those 4. 6 Million People to give them food aid, and only 3 to give them medical help so a very very difficult situation there. 7. 6 million internally displaced people within syria, 1 Million People just this year alone, he said, have been pushed from their homes. But behind all these numbers, are really cases of human suffering happening in the country right now. And nowhere can you see it more, listen carefully to what obrien told the Security Council specifically about that. Over 4 Million People have fled across borders in the desperate search of survival and the future. Facing host countries and communities under pressure, which is now stretched to breaking points. We may all be living on borrows time. Obrien also told the Security Council in reference to the ref use crisis that the International Community must do more in the name of security, and humanity to come one a better way to help neighboring countries dealing where all of this. Now last wier the Security Council issues a statement endorsing a new plan of a working group that has been set up by special envoy, this is a small but first step that the u. N. Hopes might eventually down the road bring some of the parties back to the negotiationing table, but so far thats hant happened, meanwhile, the crisis in that country continues to get worse absolutely, lets hope it is a positive step, thank you.
