More than 13 million people inside Syria still need humanitarian assistance and nearly half are in “acute need” as a result of having fled their homes, of hostilities, and of limited access to food, health care and other basic needs, the UN humanitarian chief said Monday.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tMark Lowcock told the Security Council the number of Syrians who have been displaced within the country for a long time has dropped from 6.3 million to 6.1 million. But he said “levels of new displacement remain high,” with 1.8 million people reportedly forced to leave between January and September, AP wrote. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tSince just the offensive began in November 2016 that ousted the Daesh terror group from the city of Raqqa, its self-proclaimed capital, airstrikes and clashes resulted in over 436,000 people being displaced to 60 different locations, Lowcock said, speaking via video conference from Amman, Jordan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tIn the eastern province of<\/span> Deir ez-Zor, he said, heavy fighting and airstrikes continue to cause civilian deaths and injuries as well as large-scale displacement. The International Organization for Migration reported some 350,000 people forced to flee since August, including more than 250,000 in October, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tLowcock said airstrikes on the city of Al-Mayadeen in Deir ez-Zor in mid-October left hospitals and medical facilities “inoperable,” depriving about 15,000 people of health care. He said the UN children’s agency UNICEF and the World Health Organization reported that the attacks destroyed a cold room where at least 140,000 doses of UN provided measles and polio vaccines were destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“This is a particular setback for efforts to check one of the world’s largest polio outbreaks in recent memory, an outbreak which continues to plague Deir ez-Zor in particular, with new cases continuing to be reported,” Lowcock said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
