Aid Workers Report 'Barely Moving Skeletons' in Syria's Madaya
2016-01-13
[VOA News] Humanitarian workers say the plight of starving people in the Syrian town of Madaya is heartbreaking and the worst they have witnessed during the country's nearly five-year-long civil war.

"There is no comparison in what we saw in Madaya," Sajjad Malik, the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
refugee agency's chief in Damascus, told journalists in Geneva Tuesday, a day after the U.N. delivered aid to the embattled town of 42,000 people surrounded by forces loyal to Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Light of the Alawites...
Malik said there were "credible reports" of people starving to death in Madaya.

"There are people in Madaya, but no life," he said. "What we saw in Madaya should not happen in this century."

"We saw a people that are desperate; a people that are cold; a people that are hungry; a people that have almost lost hope that the world cares about their plight," Yacoub el Hillo, the U.N.'s resident and humanitarian coordinator in Syria, told news hounds at the U.N. in New York via phone from Damascus.
