More than 880,000 people displaced in Syria: UN

More than 880,000 people have been displaced since the escalation of hostilities in Syria, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a report on Monday.

The OCHA reiterated in its report that those fleeing fighting in Syria must be allowed to do so safely and to voluntarily return when the situation allows, and the displaced people must be protected and able to access the essentials for their survival.

The office said the UN and partners will continue to help the displaced people by supplying food, water, cash, tents, blankets, and necessary medical supplies.

A militant alliance led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham waged a major military operation from northern Syria on Nov. 27, sweeping southward through government-held areas and capturing Damascus within 12 days.

Following the offensive, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government collapsed. Al-Assad resigned and arrived in Russia for asylum.

Since 1984, the Chinese mainland has delivered a total of 75.7 billion kwh of electricity to its Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), according to China Southern Power Grid (CSG) on Wednesday.

This year alone, electricity supplied to Macao from the mainland has surpassed 5.3 billion kwh, a 27-fold increase since Macao's return to the motherland in 1999, accounting for nearly 90 percent of Macao's total consumption.

To ensure stable power supply, CSG has connected Macao to south China's Guangdong Province via 12 high-voltage transmission lines.

On December 20, 1999, the Chinese government resumed its exercise of sovereignty over Macao and announced the official establishment of the Macao SAR.
