As Airlift Continues, WFP appeals for more access to cut off areas in Syria
- Insecurity and access to besieged communities in Syria are WFP’s greatest challenge in one of its largest and most complex emergency operations globally. WFP appeals to all parties to the conflict to grant unimpeded access to all civilians throughout the country.
- The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) started airlifting on Tuesday enough food to feed close to 30,000 displaced people for a month from Iraq to Qamishli in northeast Syria amid growing problems in reaching people, especially in conflict and besieged areas.
