Translation by Yusra Ahmed

(Zaman Al Wasl)- A member of the National Coalition revealed that value of kind aid the Assistance Coordination Unit (ACU) managed to deliver to camps since the snow storm reached to $. 2.5 million.

In a letter to the Coalition, the member said that Crisis management chamber consists of the Interim Government and the (ACU) has allocated about $.135 thousand of Qatari donation to Atma camp to provide fuel for heat. 6436 families are expected to benefit of Qatari cash donation.

The Coalition's member added that ACU has tried with help of “Syria’s relief Agency” for 3 days to transfer the fuel to the camp, but they stayed at the camp’s entrance all that time because of blocking the road near Orient camp.

“After long negotiation we managed to deliver the fuel to Tadamon's and Wihda's collections in Atemah camp, and distributed to people”, the Coalition member said and confirmed that almost all families in the camp have received the fuel.

In the end, the member prompted the National Coalition and council, the Assistance Coordination Unit, the Interim Government and other relief agencies to accelerate effort to meet Syrian need, as refugees in camps at the Syrian boarders have been in hunger strike for 3 days.

“We need acts, not false words” ended.
