Economic conditions in Syria have drastically deteriorated in recent months.
The Syrian currency is in a downward spiral, sending the price of food and basic goods soaring by more than 200 percent.

The World Food Programme estimates more than nine million Syrians suffer from food insecurity - that is half the country and the highest on record.
