Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Humanitarian Work in Syria: Discussion with Médicines sans Frontières

2:55 pm

Ms Jane-Ann McKenna:

As Professor McMaster mentioned, from our perspective, it is important to increase the areas we can cover and access to get independent humanitarian aid to those who need it. The most vulnerable are the people who have been left behind in towns and villages and they usually are the elderly and younger children. It is those who will be most affected this winter.
