聯合國求援65億美元幫助敘利亞人

The United Nations is asking for $6.5 billion in aid to help the millions of Syrians forced from their homes by more than two and a half years of fighting.

U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said $2.3 billion of that amount is needed for those displaced in Syria. The rest is necessary to help Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon and elsewhere in the region.

The U.N. estimates about 40 percent of Syria's population has been forced from their homes by the fighting.

The U.N. asked for $4.4 billion to help Syrians last year, but says it only received about two-thirds of that amount from donors.

Meanwhile, the U.N. is flying humanitarian aid from Iraq to northern Syria, where people affected by the fighting are dealing with harsh winter conditions.

The aid flights are delivering food, blankets and health supplies.聯合國要求各方向數百萬敘利亞人提供65億美元援助，這些敘利亞人在內戰中被迫逃離家園。敘利亞的內戰已經持續了兩年半以上。

聯合國人道主義事務協調員瓦萊麗•阿莫斯說，其中23億美元需要幫助在敘利亞境內流離失所的人。餘下的援助必須用來幫助逃到土耳其、黎巴嫩以及該地區其它地方的敘利亞難民。

聯合國估計，敘利亞人口中大約有40%因戰爭而被迫逃離家園。

聯合國去年曾尋求44億美元幫助敘利亞民衆，不過聯合國說，聯合國只從捐助方收到了這個數目的大約三分之二。

與此同時，聯合國正在從伊拉克向敘利亞北部空運人道援助物資，那裏經受戰爭煎熬的人們正在應對嚴寒天氣。

目前運送物資的飛機正在給當地運去食品、毯子和衛生用品。
