They want to go back home, but that has a limit.

I'm worried that unless this reconstruction is accelerated, that country can go backwards again.

It is still, after one year of this new government,

at a crossroad.

It is still at that crossroad.

So let's help it.

Let's help Syrians pick the right way and not the wrong one.

We still have a possibility, but the time is running out.

I think so, and pay more resources to help Syria.

There's a lot of apprehension about, you know, minorities, about the rights of women.

These are all very legitimate apprehensions, but you don't address them or help Syria address them by...

by not, by depriving it of assistance or by holding it back because you're not sure that you're going in the right place.

That's what I said, you know, reconstruction, peace building, this world that is a little bit out of fashion, but still important, means taking some risks.

If you don't take some risks, you never build peace and you prepare the ground for new conflict.

I am more worried that the entire humanitarian aid system is under pressure.

It's not just UNHCR.

It's food programs.

It's programs for children.

It's programs for women that have suffered violence.

I can give you so many examples.
