World Health Organization says no human aids, obligated by Arab countries, have arrived to the conflict torn country.

Since eruption of conflicts in Syria and rise of number of homeless and refugees, Arab countries pledged to send human aid packages to Syrians in several meetings and conferences, which none has arrived yet.


Paying a visit to a hospital in Damascus, WHO representative to Syria, Elizabeth Hoff, said, nothing was received from those countries that participated in a recent Kuwait conference held for helping Syrian people.


She said WHO continued to provide aid to people with help of Syrian volunteers. International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria was held on January 30th in Kuwait with participation of Arab countries which together pledged to finance 1 billion dollars to support thousands of refugees.


The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has warned that it will soon run out of money to cope with the vast needs of internally displaced Syrians as well as refugees in neighboring countries.
