NEW YORK, Feb. 28 -- The International Rescue Committee issued the following statement on Feb. 27 by President and CEO David Miliband:
The UN Security Council will meet again to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Despite calls for a ceasefire from UN officials, heads of government, and the Syrian people themselves, the Council has failed to unite around this most basic aspect of its mandate - protecting civilians and ensuring humanitarian aid reaches those in need.
