The 71-page report, “‘It Was Really Hard to Protect Myself’: Impact of the Armed Conflict in Syria on Children with Disabilities,” details the abuses faced by children with disabilities, including a heightened risk during attacks and a lack of access to the basic support services they need. The absence of inclusive and universal programs – including in education, delivery of humanitarian aid, and mental health and psychosocial support services – compounds the difficulties children with disabilities in Syria already experience.

Syria: Russian threat to veto renewal of last aid corridor leaves millions at risk of humanitarian catastrophe
Format
More than a million people in north-west Syria risk being cut off from food, water, Covid-19 vaccines and life-saving medication if the UN Security Council (UNSC) does not renew authorization for UN cross-border delivery of humanitarian aid through the Bab al-Hawa crossing at the Turkish border, Amnesty International said today. The UNSC is due to decide whether to extend the resolution in the next two weeks.
In 2020, China and Russia vetoed UNSC resolutions that would have allowed two other crossing points - Bab al-Salam in the north-west and al-Yarubiyah – to remain open. Bab al-Hawa is therefore the only existing and last remaining crossing for UN cross-border aid. Humanitarian workers in north-west Syria say that its closure would have a devastating impact in the north-west where such aid currently reaches 85% of people in need every month.
