International aid to Syrians 'utterly inadequate', Oxfam says
Latest update : 2015-10-07

Global efforts to help Syrians both inside and outside their war-torn country have proved "utterly inadequate", international aid group Oxfam said in a damning report on Wednesday.

The "Solidarity with Syrians" report analysed aid and resettlement opportunities for Syrian refugees provided by more than 28 countries, and said only a "handful" had been providing their fair share.

"The international community is proving utterly inadequate in helping Syrians both inside and outside their country," Oxfam said.

It criticised countries including Russia, which has not resettled any Syrian refugees and has only provided one percent of its fair share contribution to humanitarian aid, and France, which has only contributed 22 percent of its fair share to aid.
