UNICEF Whole of Syria Humanitarian Situation Report: March 2021
Format
Highlights
• March marked the tenth year of the Syrian crisis. UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore, in her remarks to the Security Council, highlighted the dire situation of children in Syria, and called for continued access to North West Syria to provide lifesaving assistance, the cessation of attacks on children and vital civilian infrastructure, and for the safe, voluntary and dignified release, repatriation and reintegration of children in North East Syria.
• The number of reported COVID-19 cases, including among humanitarian workers, continued to rise considerably, though limited testing in all parts of the country makes the extent of the outbreak impossible to assess with certainty.
