- Summary:
- The Syrian crisis is one of the most serious humanitarian disasters in recent history. Yet the widely reported numbers - more than 6 million displaced, including 5 million refugees - reflect only a fractional toll of the conflict. Numerous international organisations, states, and civil society movements have called for the laws of war to be respected, sieges lifted, and humanitarian access facilitated. But beneath each of these humanitarian appeals lies a complicated reality extending beyond the binary narratives that have come to define the war in Syria. This book examines the complexities of humanitarianism in Syria and the wide-ranging consequences for both Syria's populations and humanitarian responses to future conflicts.
