With continuous hostilities, a complete economic breakdown, more than 5.6 million refugees in neighbouring countries, and the COVID-19 pandemic: the humanitarian situation in Syria is bleak.

The President of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, Khaled Hboubati, the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Peter Maurer, and the President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Francesco Rocca, will hold a virtual presser Thursday to discuss the situation in Syria.
