Oxfam report condemns Russia, other countries for lack of aid to Syria

International charity Oxfam has criticized world powers involved in Syria, including Russia, for not helping the victims of the conflict that has lasted more than four years, Radio Free Europe reported.

In a report released on February 1, Oxfam singled out Russia, Saudi Arabia, and France as being among the least generous in terms of financial aid.

Oxfam released the report ahead of a donor conference in London on February 4 along with an appeal for increased aid and resettlement abroad for 10 percent of the refugees registered in Syria's neighbors by the end of the year.

Oxfam said most rich countries were giving less than their "fair share" of financial aid, the amount a country should contribute relative to the size of its economy.
