Japanese government: $14m aid package addresses "humanitarian crisis" in NE Syria
[Rudaw] The UNHCR will receive $6.2 million of the contribution, the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) will receive $2.8 million, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) will receive $0.4 million and the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC) will receive $4.6 million, according to the statement from the Japanese foreign ministry.

UNHCR Syria Representative Ayaki Ito was quoted in yesterday's blurb as saying that northeast Syria is experiencing a "humanitarian crisis."

"We have witnessed a humanitarian crisis with more than 73,000 people who remain displaced in north-east Syria," he said.

"More than 1.8 million people remain in dire need of humanitarian assistance in collective shelters, IDP sites, spontaneous settlements and host communities. We thank the people of Japan for their timely contribution to help us respond to urgent life-saving needs," added Ito.
