There is room and need for a greater effort by the U.S.and other countries that have remained on the humanitarian sidelines of the Syria crisis, writes IRC overseer Morton I. Abramowitz in a September 13 op-ed.
"One needs to pay tribute to the extraordinary and costly effort by UN agencies and numerous nongovernmental organizations to keep Syrians alive and safe under trying conditions. There is room and need for a greater effort by the U.S. and its friends and allies, not to mention countries such as Russia and China that have been quick to preserve Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but have stayed on the humanitarian sidelines."
