Syrian civilians not getting promised aid, report says

21 intl groups claim UN Security Council hasn't implemented 3 resolutions related to civil war

Twenty-one international aid groups sharply criticized the United Nations Security Council in a report on Thursday, saying it had failed to implement three resolutions passed last year seeking to boost humanitarian assistance to Syrian civilians caught up in the country's civil war.

The humanitarian and human rights organizations delivered a "failing grade" to world powers and the broader international community as Syria's uprising against President Bashar Assad entered its fifth year. The conflict, which began with peaceful protests before escalating into a civil war, touched off a devastating humanitarian crisis that has engulfed the broader region.
