The Syrian Coalition called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards the Syrian people inside and outside the country and increase “aid to the refugees and the host countries,” adding that the first cause of human suffering the Syrians are experiencing is the”survival of the tyrant Bashar in power.” The Syrian Coalition pointed out in a statement that “the sinking of five Syrians while trying to escape to a safe haven,” was caused by the oppression practiced by the Assad regime against them. The Syrian Coalition stated that “the number of refugees registered with the United Nations exceeded three million in the Middle East alone, let alone the refugees who are waiting registration.” The Syrian Coalition set up an Emergency Committee to follow up and address the situation of Syrian refugees fleeing Kalamoon near the Lebanese border. The Committee’s task will be receiving, packaging and delivery of humanitarian aid and distributing it to the Syrian refugees as well as securing the urgent needs of housing, education, health and food according to a plan established by the Committee based on factual data and the current need.
