联合国要求各方向数百万叙利亚人提供65亿美元援助,这些叙利亚人在内战中被迫逃离家园。叙利亚的内战已经持续了两年半以上。
 
联合国人道主义事务协调员瓦莱丽·阿莫斯说,其中23亿美元需要帮助在叙利亚境内流离失所的人。余下的援助必须用来帮助逃到土耳其、黎巴嫩以及该地区其它地方的叙利亚难民。
 
联合国估计,叙利亚人口中大约有40%因战争而被迫逃离家园。
 
联合国去年曾寻求44亿美元帮助叙利亚民众,不过联合国说,联合国只从捐助方收到了这个数目的大约三分之二。
 
与此同时,联合国正在从伊拉克向叙利亚北部空运人道援助物资,那里经受战争煎熬的人们正在应对严寒天气。
 
目前运送物资的飞机正在给当地运去食品、毯子和卫生用品。
 
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.
