The “Pilgrims of Peace” international initiative for Syria is being supported by various human rights and anti-war organizations. The convoy includes activists from countries such as Britain, Canada, Germany, Lebanon, Australia, Pakistan, India and Iran. Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to reports, the Western powers and their certain regional allies are supporting the militants operating inside Syria. The UN says more than 100,000 people have been killed since the beginning of the unrest in 2011. More than 2.2 million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries while an estimated 4.25 million have been displaced internally. The UN-brokered peace talks between Syria’s government and the Western-backed opposition ended last month in Geneva, Switzerland, without any breakthrough. The international convoy plans to dispatch medical and pharmaceutical supplies to Syria, meet different groups of people and distribute international assistance among the crisis-stricken people of Syria.
