【时代论坛讯】世界宣明会于一月廿一日与全球近百个人道救援组织的领袖发布联署，呼吁世界各国的人民一同发声，要求有能力终止叙利亚危机的各方，尽快达成停火协议，并立刻采取四项实际行动，不要让叙利亚人民承受更多的苦难。世界宣明会并呼吁市民继续向叙利亚人民伸出援手。
该四项实际行动包括给救援组织维持畅通及持续的通道、基于人道主义立场无条件及有监管下停火、停止攻击平民设施，以及容许所有平民自由出入并立刻终止各方的围攻。该项呼吁不仅是向全球各国政府发出，更是向世界各国的人民呼吁，因为这些实际行动，「只要有这样做的意愿，没有任何实际原因会令它们不能实行。」
联署呼吁各界联手结束叙利亚的苦难
三年前，联合国的人道救援机构领袖联合作出紧急呼吁，要求有能力终止叙利亚危机的人，携手拯救叙利亚的人民。他们说：「那些苦难及流血已经够了！」
三年过去了。
叙利亚的战争即将踏入第六个年头。叙利亚人民所受的苦难，所流的血，从未止息。
所以今日，多个人道救援组织及联合国机构的领袖，携手呼吁各国政府，以及每一个你，与我们一起发声，要求结束这一场大屠杀，并呼吁各方尽快达成停火协议，迈向和平的道路。
这个世界需要听到我们一致的声音，要求停止这场暴行，因为这场冲突触及到我们每一个人。
它触及到那些在叙利亚丧失了挚亲及生计，那些被迫离开家园，那些被军队围困、活在绝望中的人。现时在叙利亚，有超过1350万人急需人道救援。这不仅是一个数据。在这个冰冷的数字背后，是一个个有血有肉的人，他们的性命及未来正受到极大威胁。
它触及到那些孤注一掷，以身犯险，逃难往异乡的家庭。战事发生至今，已迫使超过四百六十万人逃难至邻近及远方国家。
它触及到一整代儿童及年轻人，他们当中有愈来愈多人，因为缺乏教育及饱受恐怖经历的创伤，在未来里只见到暴力。
它触及到那些距离叙利亚很远，却见到这场危机所引起的暴力恶果，出现在近在咫尺的街道上、办公室及餐厅里的人。
它亦触及到世界上那些因为这场危机，有形无形地遭受到经济损失的人。
那些有能力终止这场苦难的人可以，并应该，立刻采取行动。在觅得外交解决办法之前，他们应采取以下行动：
一、维持畅通及持续的通道，让救援组织将物资送到叙利亚有需要人民的手上；
二、基于人道主义立场，无条件及有监管下停火，让食物及其他紧急援助送到平民手上，让接种疫苗及其他保健计划恢复，以及让儿童回归校园；
三、停止攻击平民设施，让学校、医院及水源得到保障；及
四、容许所有平民自由出入，并立刻终止各方的围攻。
这些均为实际行动。只要有这样做的意愿，没有任何实际原因会令它们不能实行。以我们人类共同的名义，为了那数以百万计无辜受苦的人，还有那数以百万计命悬一线的人，我们要求立即采取行动。
二○一六年一月廿一日
AN APPEAL TO END THE SUFFERING IN SYRIA
Three years ago, the leaders of UN humanitarian agencies issued an urgent appeal to those who could end the conflict in Syria. They called for every effort to save the Syrian people. “Enough”, they said, of the suffering and bloodshed.
That was three years ago.
Now, the war is approaching its sixth brutal year. The bloodshed continues. The suffering deepens.
So today, we – leaders of humanitarian organisations and UN agencies - appeal not only to governments but to each of you - citizens around the world – to add your voices in urging an end to the carnage. To urge that all parties reach agreement on a ceasefire and a path to peace.
More than ever before, the world needs to hear a collective public voice calling for an end to this outrage. Because this conflict and its consequences touch us all.
It touches those in Syria who have lost loved ones and livelihoods, who have been uprooted from their homes, or who live in desperation under siege. Today, some 13.5 million people inside Syria need humanitarian assistance. That is not simply a statistic. These are 13.5 million individual human beings whose lives and futures are in jeopardy.It touches the families who, with few options for a better future, set out on perilous journeys to foreign lands in search of refuge. The war has seen 4.6 million people flee to neighbouring countries and beyond.
It touches a generation of children and young people who – deprived of education and traumatized by the horrors they have experienced –increasingly see their future shaped only by violence.
It touches those far beyond Syria who have seen the violent repercussions of the crisis reach the streets, offices and restaurants closer to their homes.
And it touches all those around the world whose economic wellbeing is affected, in ways visible and invisible, by the conflict.
Those with the ability to stop the suffering can - and therefore should - take action now. Until there is a diplomatic solution to the fighting, such action should include:
- Unimpeded and sustained access for humanitarian organizations to bring immediate relief to all those in need inside Syria
- Humanitarian pauses and unconditional, monitored ceasefires to allow food and other urgent assistance to be delivered to civilians, vaccinations and other health campaigns, and for children to return to school
- A cessation of attacks on civilian infrastructure – so that schools and hospitals and water supplies are kept safe
- Freedom of movement for all civilians and the immediate lifting of all sieges by all parties
These are practical actions. There is no practical reason they could not be implemented if there is the will to do so.
In the name of our shared humanity… for the sake of the millions of innocents who have already suffered so much…and for the millions more whose lives and futures hang in the balance, we call for action now.
Now.
