In the spirit of our commitment to resolve the serious humanitarian crisis in Syria, Hungary is providing Euro 25000 in support towards the UNICEF mental health and rehabilitation programmes for injured children.

According to the UN Report published in June of 2012, the rights of children are being systematically and harshly violated in Syria and violent acts against them have increased significantly since the beginning of anti-governmental protests. The children affected have experienced serious traumas and recovery from these requires a long period of time, which international humanitarian organizations wish to facilitate by the creation of a peaceful living environment and through therapeutic treatments.

This latest donation supplements the humanitarian assistance provided so far by the government, which totals Euro 115000. The aid will reach the people in need via domestic, local and international humanitarian organizations.
