LONDON - More than 100 humanitarian and UN agencies called on Thursday for an end to the war in Syria, appealing to governments and people around the world to add their voices to the demand for an end to the 'carnage'.
Oxfam, Save the Children, Caritas International, nearly 30 UNICEF branches and others called for an unconditional ceasefire to allow delivery of aid, freedom of movement for civilians, protection of hospitals, schools and water supplies, and the lifting of all sieges.
The agencies invited people around the world to show support for the appeal by sharing it on social media.
"More than ever before, the world needs to hear a collective public voice calling for an end to this outrage. Because this conflict and its consequences touch us all," the appeal said.
