Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva on humanitarian work in Syria

Four years later, what is considered the worst humanitarian disaster in the 21st century remains unresolved — and with no end in sight.

In this video interview, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar asked Kristalina Georgieva, the European Union’s humanitarian aid chief, what the international aid community is doing right, where it needs to improve, and how to overcome the myriad challenges, mainly access and dealing with the consequences for neighboring countries, most of which are host to huge numbers of Syrian refugees.
