Oxfam: Syrian refugees let down by world leaders

Oxfam has said it is "appalled" that the number of Syrian refugees has reached two million, adding that the humanitarian response is "stretched to the limit".

Enough is enough. A generation of Syrians is paying too high a price in this conflict. They have been seriously let down by the international community, which has failed to prioritise a political solution to the conflict.

That must change. World leaders - especially President Obama and President Putin - must ensure the long-promised peace talks take place as soon as possible.
