2. escalating to armed conflict after
President Bashar al-Assad's
government violently repressed
protests calling for his removal.
The war is being fought by the
Syrian Government, a loose
alliance of Syrian Arab rebel
groups, the Syrian Democratic
Forces, Salafi jihaidst groups and
the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL).
The Syria Crisis is an ongoing multi-sided armed conflict with international
interventions taking place in Syria. The unrest grew out of the 2011 Arab
Spring protests,
3. Syria’s crisis is the worst
humanitarian crisis of the
time. Half the country’s pre-
war population — more than
11 million people — have
been killed or forced to flee
their homes. Families are
struggling to survive inside
Syria, or make a new home in
neighboring countries.
It will take $7.7 billion to
meet the urgent needs of the
most vulnerable Syrians in
2016. The status of the crisis
is given below.
Date 15 March 2011 – present
(5 years, 3 months, 3 weeks and
6 days)
Location Syria (with spillovers in neighboring
countries)
Status Ongoing
Territorial
changes
As of February 2016: the government
held 40% of Syria (66% of the
population); ISIL-held territory
constituted 20–40% of Syria; 20%
controlled by rebel groups (including the
al-Nusra front); 15–20% held by the Kurds
4. More than five
years after it
began, the full-
blown civil war has
killed over 250,000
people
Bombings are
destroying crowded
cities and horrific
human rights
violations are
widespread.
5. Syria’s crisis is the worst
humanitarian crisis of the time.
Half the country’s pre-war
population — more than 11
million people — have been killed
or forced to flee their homes.
Families are struggling to survive
inside Syria, or make a new home
in neighboring countries.
People are risking their lives on
the way to Europe, hoping to find
acceptance and opportunity. And
harsh winters and hot summers
make life as a refugee even more
difficult.
6. Every day around 5000 people, mainly
women and children, flee their homes
in Syria. Four million are being
sheltered by Syria’s five neighboring
countries who are struggling to cope.
With no end to the conflict in sight,
these numbers will increase. This is
the worst humanitarian crisis of our
lifetime and the international
community cannot continue to turn its
back on Syria’s refugees.
7. USA
During the Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011, the United States first supplied the
rebels of the Free Syrian Army with food rations and pickup trucks. But quickly began
providing training, cash, and intelligence to selected Syrian rebel commanders to
fund a proxy force against the sovereign state of Syria.
Russia
On 30 September 2015, Russia started a direct military intervention in Syria consisting
of air strikes against ISIL, the Al-Nusra Front, and other perceived enemies of the
Syrian government.
Iran
Has provided significant support for Syria in the Syrian Civil War. This is said to
include technical support, some combat troops, and $9bn in financial support.
Venezuela
In February 2012, it was reported that Hugo Chávez's government in Venezuela had
been shipping tens of millions of dollars of diesel to Syria, which can be used to fuel
army tanks
8. The Arab League, European Union, the
United Nations and many Western
governments quickly condemned the Syrian
government's violent response to the
protests, and expressed support for the
protesters' right to exercise free speech.
Initially, many Middle Eastern governments
expressed support for Assad, but as the
death toll mounted they switched to a more
balanced approach, criticizing violence from
both government and protesters.
Both the Arab League and the Organisation
of Islamic Cooperation suspended Syria's
membership.
9. USAID and other government
agencies in US delivered nearly
$385 million of aid items to Syria in
2012 and 2013.
The United States is providing food
aid, medical supplies, emergency
and basic health care, shelter
materials, clean water, hygiene
education and supplies, and other
relief supplies.
Islamic Relief has stocked 30
hospitals and sent hundreds of
thousands of medical and food
parcels.
