UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has highlighted the ongoing challenges in Syria, cautioning against underestimating the scale of the humanitarian and security crisis in the war-torn country.
In a statement shared on his verified Twitter account, Guterres emphasized that while stability has been achieved in some parts of Syria, the conflict is far from over.
“Civilians remain at risk—killed, injured, and displaced. Their protection must be our highest priority,” he wrote, underscoring the urgent need for international attention and action.
Despite relative calm in certain regions, the humanitarian situation in Syria remains dire. Millions of civilians continue to endure the consequences of a decade-long conflict, including displacement, food insecurity, and limited access to healthcare. According to UN reports, over 6.8 million Syrians are internally displaced, and millions more have sought refuge in neighboring countries.
The Secretary-General’s remarks come as violence persists in several parts of Syria, with clashes between armed groups and government forces still endangering civilian lives. Additionally, the lingering threat of explosive remnants of war poses a significant hazard to communities attempting to rebuild.
Guterres’s call for prioritizing civilian protection echoes the sentiments of humanitarian organizations working on the ground. Many have urged the international community to increase support for relief efforts, facilitate the safe return of displaced persons, and push for a sustainable political solution to the conflict.
