The UN Security Council has failed to alleviate the suffering of Syrian civilians, according to a report by international aid agencies.
More than 20 groups said the UN had not implemented three resolutions passed last year that were aimed at increasing aid assistance to Syrians.

The resolutions had been "ignored or undermined by the parties to the conflict, other UN member states, and even by members of the UNSC itself", the agencies said in a report called Failing Syria.
While violence in Syria has risen, the ability to provide aid has fallen and there is not nearly enough money provided for humanitarian assistance, they said.

The agencies, including the International Rescue Committee, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Handicap International, are urging UN members to ensure the resolutions are fully implemented.
The war in Syria is entering its fifth year, creating a humanitarian disaster that has affected the whole region.
More than 3.8 million Syrians out of a pre-war population of 23 million have fled their country since the uprising against President Bashar al Assad.
Most have gone to neighbouring countries including Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and Turkey - the latter has more than 1.5 million registered within its borders.
A further 7.6 million people have fled their homes but remain displaced within Syria, according to UN figures.
Since the war started, 210,060 people have been killed, including 65,146 civilians, of whom 10,664 were children, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
