Kuwait III: aid for millions of displaced Syrians
Even if the conflict were to end tomorrow Syrians will need assistance for years to come. The conflict has left millions of people hungry, ailing or displaced. The world figures estimate the conflict has reversed development gains in Syria by 35 years, with half its people now living in poverty. Children, women and men are trapped, hungry, ill and losing hope. Even under the best circumstances, the fighting has set Syria back years, even decades.
As the war in Syria has entered its fifth year, Kuwait will host the third International Humanitarian Donors’ conference for Syria on March 31, 2015.

The international community will ask for more support to help people affected by what is currently the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis.
