QUOTE: "UN agencies will likely come under pressure to revise up their US$193 million estimate of the cost to help the refugees this year. That estimate in June was based on the expectation that there would be 185,000 refugees from Syria by the end of 2012." So the agencies are going to have to raise their estimates upwards of $190 million to assist refugees from Syria to neighboring countries. SYRIA IS AN ARAB PROBLEM,in the middle of Arabia and should have been fixed by the 23 super oil rich companies that make up the Arab League who have demonstrated their COURAGEOUS stand by hiding behind the skirts of the UN hoping someone else will fix their problem. Money, arms and people would be no problem - only a committment to help their Arab Brothers & Sisters getting slaughtered by the Assad Murdering machine. I would object to NZ sending people into help Syria and risking their lives when the Arab League members display that they do not want to risk any Arab lives. The agencies should send their bill to the Invisible Arab League.
