"We are very much concerned that at least one million people have been displaced inside Syria and there are still many Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries," said the secretary general in comments issued by the UN following his meeting with peace envoy Kofi Annan in Geneva.
Ban said UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos will host a meeting in the Swiss city next Friday to begin the task of getting aid to Syria`s needy.
"I hope that (it) will be able to mobilize the necessary humanitarian resources so that all needy people will be able to get the necessary humanitarian assistance," he said. (*)
