UNICEF: Millions of children affected by global conflicts this year
As many as 15 million children have been directly affected by conflicts, says UNICEF. "Never in recent memory have so many children been subjected to such unspeakable brutality," says Anthony Lake, executive director of UNICEF. "Violence and trauma do more than harm individual children -- they undermine the strength of societies," he added. Reuters (12/8), The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (12/8)

3 steps to improving humanitarian aid to Syria
Humanitarian aid to Syria has declined because of aid fatigue, the uneven sharing of the financial burden and unprecedented global demand, write Stewart Patrick and Shervin Ghaffari of the Council on Foreign Relations. This situation can be alleviated by providing the World Food Programme with stopgap assistance, ending the Syrian civil war and using United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 to restore balance to international aid, Patrick and Ghaffari argue.
