Abstract

The number of people killed, displaced or in desperate need of assistance as a result of the conflict in Syria continues to rise. With 3 million refugees, 6.5 million people displaced inside Syria and 190,000 people killed, the crisis is posing a serious risk to the security and stability of neighbouring countries.<br />The sheer scale of this crisis demands specific and increased commitments from the international community to help alleviate the suffering: to fully fund the aid response, to offer refugees resettlement, and to halt the transfer of arms and ammunition.<br />Through key indicators that Oxfam has developed in each of these areas, this briefing shows how far the international community is falling short of what is needed.
