The UN Success Story Nobody Talks About

As Syria's tragic civil war enters its fifth year, we can't forget the silent enemy civilians face daily: hunger. We, the international community, must do everything possible to feed Syria's war victims. While rebels have battled the Assad regime, and the terrorist group ISIS has taken over territory, hunger has escalated. Only the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and its partners have prevented mass starvation from occurring in Syria. WFP is feeding over four million Syrians inside the war-devastated country. They are also feeding nearly two million Syrians who have fled throughout the Middle East.

The Syrian refugees are hungry and scared. The children are at risk of severe malnutrition. Any road to peace for Syria must contend with this powerful hunger menace. We must support  WFP, Catholic Relief Services, Save the Children, Norwegian Refugee Council and other charities who are providing aid.
We can find some inspiration in our own history. Back in 1924 Americans brought cans of condensed milk to the movies to donate to help Syrian children. The milk was their price of admission.

Children in Los Angeles also carried cans of milk to school. It was not for their own lunch but instead placed in a donation barrel for children in Syria and elsewhere.
A train went across the United States collecting more milk and other supplies. All these donations were given to the Near East Relief Committee. This was a charitable organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid in Syria and other countries suffering in the aftermath of World War I.

Wouldn't milk be "off" by the time it got to Syria? Unless of course it was tinned.
