Statement of San Marino at the General Assembly Debate, September 24, 2016

The conflict in Syria, which continues uninterrupted since March 2011, has already caused more than 270,000 deaths, of which Over 13,000 are children and more than 8,000 women. To these figures, hundreds of thousands of injured people must be added. Inevitably, the humanitarian situation in Syria has deeply deteriorated. Most of those who need primary care, in particular women and children, live in besieged areas, which cannot be reached by humanitarian convoys.
