联合国救援机构负责人将访问叙利亚和黎巴嫩

The United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos says she will travel to Syria and Lebanon this week to discuss ways of increasing aid to civilians caught up in the Syrian conflict.

Valerie Amos announced Monday that the three-day visit, beginning Tuesday, is aimed at drawing attention to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria, and the impact on people who are still in the country and those who have fled to other countries, including Lebanon.

The Arab League postponed a meeting of foreign ministers that had been scheduled for Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to discuss the Syrian situation and a replacement for peace envoy Kofi Annan, who resigned earlier this month.  An Arab League official did not give a reason for the delay and did not say when the meeting might be rescheduled.

瓦莱丽·阿莫斯星期一宣布，这次为期三天的访问将于星期二开始，访问的目的是为了让人们关注叙利亚不断恶化的人道主义局势，以及这种局势对仍在那里的老百姓以及那些已经逃出叙利亚、包括逃到黎巴嫩的叙利亚人的影响。

阿拉伯联盟推迟了原定星期天在沙特阿拉伯吉达举行的外长会议。这次会议主要讨论叙利亚局势，以及推举一个接替安南担任叙利亚和平特使的人选。安南于本月早些时候辞职。阿盟一位官员并没有说明原因，也没有说明会议可能改在什么时间举行。
