Syria's Civil War Intensifies in 14th Year Amid Declining Aid

As Syria's conflict enters its 14th year, a resurgence in violence and a significant drop in humanitarian aid exacerbate the crisis.

Violence in Syria has surged to its worst levels since 2020, with increased attacks on civilian infrastructure and opposition-held areas.
The U.N.'s humanitarian response plan for 2023 received only 38% of the funds sought, marking the lowest level of funding since appeals began.
Over 12 million Syrians lack regular access to food, with the World Food Program set to end its main assistance program in 2024.
Recent weeks have seen unrest in opposition-held areas and sporadic attacks by IS sleeper cells across the country.
The devastating earthquake in February 2023 further compounded Syria's misery, killing around 6,000 in the country and impacting millions reliant on aid.
