The Innovation of Humanitarian Action in Syria
Abstract
Aside from the current war in Yemen, the Syrian conflict that broke out in 2011 is still considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. In the face of the continuing plight of more than 13 million Syrians, inno vative humanitarian action in the region, which is constantly changing, has made the crisis a ›laboratory‹ for the future of humanitarian action from United Nations agencies and civil society. At the same time, in the Syrian conflict humanitarian action has rarely before been so hampered, attacked and disregarded in its principles, which signifies major challenges and conflicting goals worldwide.
