Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Situation in Syria and the Philippines: Discussion with UNICEF Ireland

3:05 pm

Mr. Peter Power:

The first priority of most people is to leave. They simply have to get out. There is really nothing left there. I do not claim to be an expert in the area but possibly the only way to deal with this is a mass evacuation of the entire population followed by an attempt to begin some form of reconstruction, with all that would entail, because the city does not exist any more. It is gone.
