“We continue to receive very disturbing reports that tens of thousands of people have become newly displaced due to renewed fighting in the Two Areas, and, without the required humanitarian access, this is likely to increase as the dry season nears. The deepening humanitarian crisis in the Two Areas is profoundly unacceptable.”
- Ambassador Susan E. Rice
"This is not, at root, a humanitarian crisis. It is a political crisis caused by the cruelty and callousness of the Assad regime. No amount of humanitarian assistance will end the bloodshed and suffering. That day will come only once Assad has departed and a peaceful, Syrian-led transition to democracy has begun. This remains our goal—and should be the goal of all nations of goodwill."
- Ambassador Susan E. Rice

Yet despite this staggering statistic, we are fortunate that the world has seen major breakthroughs in our ability to save children’s lives...Today, it is possible to eliminate preventable child death.”
- Ambassador Susan E. Rice
