UN Says 10.8 Million Syrians Need Aid -- SKY News
The number of Syrians in urgent need of humanitarian aid has jumped to 10.8 million - nearly half of Syria's population of 22 million - United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon has said.
This figure comes following a UNHCR announcement that the number of people forced from their homes worldwide has surged past 50 million, a number not seen since the second World War.
