Today marks ten years of the conflict in Syria. Countless violations of human rights and international humanitarian law have caused enormous suffering. Around 60 % of the Syrian population lacks food security. 5.6 million Syrians are refugees, and 6.2 million people are displaced within Syria.
Finland strongly calls on the parties of the conflict for a political resolution.
