UN REFUGEE AGENCY ASSISTING SYRIANS DISPLACED BY FIGHTING IN
AL-QUSAIRNew York, May 31 2013 2:00PMWarning that conditions are
deteriorating in areas of western Syria, the United Nations refugee
agency today said it is assisting hundreds of families who have fled
the fighting in the city of Al-Qusair.

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) said that
since the fighting intensified in Al-Qusair three weeks ago, at least
700 families – or some 3,500 people – have arrived to Hasiya, a small
nearby town with a population of 16,000.

UNCHR and its partners visited Hasiya earlier this week to assess the
situation and needs of those displaced, and during the visit the
agency also delivered essential relief items such as blankets and
mattresses to 500 families.

"The needs […] remain huge, and UNHCR is currently looking at how we
can deliver additional items to cover the needs of these new
arrivals," UNHCR spokesperson Dan McNorton
<"http://www.unhcr.org/51a86fc06.html">told reporters in Geneva.

"The families we spoke to told us they urgently need milk, diapers,
medical supplies and adequate shelter. Water to the town is also in
short supply and insufficient for the swelling population," he said,
adding that most of the population there depends on water trucked in
once a week by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.

"Due to the poor sanitation and hygiene conditions in which people
were living, many, especially children, were suffering from diarrhoea,
respiratory problems, high fevers, ear infections and skin diseases,"
he said.

The displaced families have been staying in three schools and an
unfinished building, as well as in tents donated by locals. During the
assessment visit, UNHCR identified a building that could act as a safe
location to host displaced families and to deliver additional
essential items such as mattresses, sleeping mats, blankets, kitchen
sets, plastic sheets and hygiene items.

Since March 2011, fighting between the Syrian Government and
opposition forces seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad has killed
more than 70,000 people, and left 6.8 million people in need. In
addition, the UN estimates that some 1.5 million Syrians have fled
their country to escape conflict.May 31 2013 2:00PM
