The United Nations Security Council is urging the Syrian government to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and calling on all parties in the Syrian Civil War to agree to pauses in fighting to let the aid convoys through.

“Our task now is to turn these strong words into meaningful action for the children, women and men who continue to be the victims of the brutality and violence,” said UN aid chief Valerie Amos, who also said that aid groups could conceivably help millions of people who can’t be reached right now.

Australia and Luxembourg drafted the resolution approved by the Security Council on Wednesday. 

More than two million Syrians, mostly women and children, have fled during the two and a half-year-old civil war, and it’s causing political trouble in one of their destinations.

Bulgaria’s Interior Ministry fired the head of its refugee agency for failing to cope with the influx of Syrians, now crossing through Turkey at a rate of 100 per day.  Most are crossing the borders illegally.

As Sofia struggles to process asylum applications, the refugees are crowded into dormitories where the spillover is forced to sleep in corridors, and where more than 100 people share a single bathroom.
