UNITED NATIONS， Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Jan Egeland， the UN special adviser on Syria， on Thursday said that he feels that "this will be the worst winter in the five-year war" in Syria as food rations are about to run out in east Aleppo， a city in north Syria， a UN spokesman told reporters here.
"Some of the areas are freezing cold， and people will be in need of digging themselves down in the ground in extreme cases because they cannot be reached to receive humanitarian aid，" Egeland was quoted by UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric as saying at a daily news briefing here.
The special adviser said that "the reports we have now from within east Aleppo is that the last food rations are being distributed， and there will be nothing more to distribute next week."
He said that "we have a UN initiative for east Aleppo that has four parts， involving medical supplies into the medical facilities in east Aleppo; medical evacuations out of east Aleppo for the estimated 300 or so patients that are in urgent need of medical evacuation， the delivery of food and other urgent supplies to east Aleppo， and the deployment of more medical personnel to provide relief in east Aleppo."
Egeland， a senior Norwegian diplomat， was the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator from June 2003 to December 2006.
"There is no doubt it will be the worst in this cruel war and I fear that it will be a real killer in many places，" he said. "No place are we so worried at this time as for the quarter of a million civilians in east Aleppo."
The last time aid reached eastern districts of what was once Syria's economic hub and largest city was in July this year.
The scene of intense ground fighting pitching forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against rebel factions seeking to oust him， east Aleppo is also running low on food.
If warring factions give the go-ahead， relief teams on the ground would need 72 hours to prepare operations and a few days and nights to carry out their objectives， he said.
Meanwhile， Egeland also reminded that conditions in other besieged and hard-to-reach areas in Syria are extremely concerning as a result of the conflict which broke out in March 2011.
Some 400，000 people have died during the five-year war while millions more have been displaced by fighting and reigning insecurity.
WASHINGTON
mizuno wave rider 18 sale , Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.
The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy, were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.
Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy
mizuno wave rider 18 womens , saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.
Yellen, 67, took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke
mizuno wave rider 18 , who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.
In the public debut in her new role, Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.
Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate
mizuno wave rider 17 sale , now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.
"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus
mizuno wave rider 17 womens , referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.
While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected, Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.
The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January, citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.
The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying
mizuno wave rider 17 , which now totals 65 billion dollars a month, at a similar pace at each Fed meeting and end it by the end of 2014, provided the economy develops generally in line with expectations.
Yellen also highlighted the Fed's financial regulatory role, saying that the work of making the financial system more robust " has not yet been completed."
It may be a new year
mizuno wave prophecy 5 sale , but many of the same questions that were being asked a year ago are still relevant today.
For example, Oscar and Tevez have replaced Alex Teixeira, Ramires and Jackson Martinez as the latest big-name imports, but China is still waiting to -unearth a true homegrown soccer star.
Zhang Yuning
mizuno wave prophecy 5 womens , a striker currently playing with Dutch side Vitesse, has been tagged the player mostly like to make that breakthrough, but plenty of others have carried that burden and failed to do so.
Zhang turns 20 this week and could have a huge future, but it's just as likely he returns to China too soon
