Working in coordination with the humanitarian community, IRC currently addresses the needs of war-affected Syrians from several operational bases in the region. Our activities focus primarily on the supply of vital medications and primary health care, food, non-food items and livelihoods, women, child and general protection services and form part of an over-arching humanitarian response in the region that seeks to assist refugees, IDPs and local Syrians survive conflict and displacement.
Within the Protection Sector, as per the Humanitarian Needs Overview 2020, it has been assessed that 13.6 million people are in need of assistance across the country. Despite the efforts among a large number of International and Syrian NGOs and UN Agencies that have been providing assistance inside Syria, needs continue to increase, and coordination structures remain fragile as a result of continuous political sensitivity in Syria. As a result, the humanitarian community has embarked si
greg: all right, yeah, i know. k.g., what happens when harvard and isis are thinking the same way, when they actually think the enemy is the president and not some kind of, i don t know, other enemy? the enemy should be isis. well, that s a big problem, clearly, so you should go to a community college where you can get a much better education and don t come out brainwashed like that. let them do what they re going to do, but i don t think president trump s sweating them. greg: no, i know, i don t think he s keeping himself up at night wondering what the double door army is doing. yes, exactly. greg: i can predict in 5-10 years they ll be waiting tables at mar-a-lago. actually, they won t be able to the get a job there because the people there are quite qualified. rob, can i ask you a tangential question to syria? does the strike help or hurt isis? because there are people saying, oh, the people we hit or hurting isis, so we helped isis? well, no.

sometimes you need to take quick action and remind everyone who s boss. and it seems clear this highly specific strike is a pretty reasonable response to genocide. it s the military equivalent of a rolled-up newspaper on a dog s nose. the message isn t just for syria, but russia, iran, north korea and china. there s a new sheriff in town, and he s willing to kick your dog. i mean, he just kicked putin s mutt. talk about refuting that narrative. and really it s got to be hard for the left to protest this, chanting hey ho, retaliating against genocide has got to go? [laughter] it doesn t flow. and what of those who called the whole syria chemical attack a false flag? but you can use that line on anything. it works on anything. anyway, it s as if the world offered president trump a multiple choice question, and he
