  1. “In conclusion, India has continued to extend development assistance and human resource development support to Syria through grants and lines of credits for development projects, supplies of medicine and food, artificial-limb fitment camps, a next-generation information technology centre and capacity-building training programmes. Since the beginning of the conflict, India has always stood by the Syrian people in their hour of need and will continue to do so.”

  2. “The situation regarding camps for internally displaced persons housing women and children also remains serious, with continuing grave concerns about the conditions in the camps, where much criminal activity, including murder, has been reported this year. We are concerned about the fact that humanitarian assistance to Syria in 2021 was lower than the previous year. There is an urgent need to scale it up. In that regard, we request that OCHA harmonize the data related to early-recovery and resilience projects in a comprehensive manner so that the Council can have a holistic view of it by the end of June, well before the cross-border authorization expires.”

  3. “India has repeatedly pointed to the looming threat posed by the resurgence of terrorist groups in Syria. We cannot discuss the humanitarian situation in Syria in isolation without mentioning the growing activities of terrorist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Da’esh. ISIL’s January attack on a prison in the city of Al-Hasakah demonstrated the severity of the problem. Hostilities, including air strikes and shelling in north-western Syria, continue to have an adverse impact on civilians, including women and children. India has consistently highlighted how external players have contributed to the growth of terrorist groups in Syria. The international community’s continuing neglect of this issue will cause irreparable damage to our collective fight against terrorism.”

  4. “The international community needs to take a constructive approach to promoting projects that can bring much-needed jobs and economic opportunities to the Syrian people and thereby help to ease shortfalls. In the face of falling production of food staples and problems related to water shortages, it is crucial to address the collective concerns of the Syrian people with deep seriousness. We also believe that a comprehensive, nationwide ceasefire is in the larger interests of the Syrian people. While cross-border operations are predictable and important, they cannot continue in perpetuity. We note the ongoing efforts, including the fourth convoy from Aleppo, facilitated by Syria, and reiterate that the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and United Nations agencies should focus more on enhancing cross-line operations.”

  5. “In order to achieve that, all the parties, particularly the external players, have to show tangible commitment to a political process that is Syrian-led and -owned and facilitated by the United Nations, in line with resolution 2254 (2015). Initiatives taken by the countries of the region to normalize relations with Syria can also make a positive contribution to addressing the humanitarian situation. We need to avoid tying humanitarian and development assistance to progress in the political process, which will only exacerbate the human suffering. There is an urgent need to scale up assistance and ensure that humanitarian agencies receive the funding they need to fully execute their plans without politicizing the people’s basic needs.”

  6. “I join others in thanking Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths for his briefing today. I also thank Dr. Farida Almouslem for her very insightful briefing. The humanitarian situation in Syria, as is evident from today’s briefing, has seen no major improvement in the past month. The number of people needing humanitarian assistance now exceeds 14 million, with essential food items and fuel in short supply. While the international community’s focus is on the humanitarian situation arising out of Ukraine, we must not lose sight of the suffering of the Syrian people. Making decisive progress on the political track in Syria is vitally urgent if we are to alleviate its people’s suffering.”
