The United Nations has launched the largest appeal in its history - seeking $5bn (£3.2bn; 3.7bn euros) for humanitarian aid to Syria.


The UN estimates more than 10 million Syrians - half the population - will need help by the end of the year.


As many as four million children are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, the UN's children's agency says.


UN humanitarian officials have admitted they may struggle to raise the record sums they are now asking for.


Governments were criticised for being slow to commit funds to the previous UN target of $1.5bn for the first six months of this year, the BBC's Nick Childs says.
