New York, Many people in Syria are trying to lead “a normal life amidst the ruins” of their country devastated by years of conflict; that’s according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, who visited the Syrian city of Douma this week.
Some 5.6 million people have fled Syrian over the past seven years of war and a further 6.6 million people are displaced inside the country.
Grandi walked the streets of Douma on Thursday and met people who are living in the rubble of destroyed homes.
The UN Refugee Agency continues to support people across the country with relief items. It has also funded the rehabilitation of vital infrastructure such as schools and health clinics.
