I thank Mr. Andrews for attending. Often, I wonder, given the complexities, diversities and scale of a problem, how an organisation decides where to provide aid. How does GOAL decide it is the northern liberated region as against another place that it will work in? We have been considering the figures for displaced persons pouring across the borders into Turkey and other places which are already under stress, including Lebanon. We are conscious of the dispossessed Palestinians who are already there. There is also a substantial Christian minority in the region. Who distributes the aid and who decides who will be its net beneficiaries?
