The humanitarian needs in Syria are staggering. An estimated 6.8 million Syrians require assistance, a number equal to the population of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut combined. Of that number, about 2 million have fled to neighboring countries. Even more somewhere between 4 and 5 million are displaced from their homes inside Syria. (AP Photo/ Khalid Mohammed)
