I thank Mr. Barry and Mr. Glasgow for meeting us. What game changer do they see happening to put an end to the hurting stalemate that currently exists? It appears the conflict will trundle on in the absence of decisive intervention and all we will see is an increased body count. The staff are operating in a war zone, which is a dangerous place to be. It will be a challenge to get them out in the event of a game changer. I commend them on going to Syria in the first place because, as Mr. Barry pointed out, few people are willing to go there. If organisations like GOAL are unwilling to act as witnesses on the ground, nobody will get the message out. I agree with others on naming and shaming those who produce eternal rounds of promises at international conferences without delivering on them, as we have seen in the context of Haiti and other disasters.
