Australia has renewed a $110-million aid deal with the International Red Cross, as the organisation revealed more disturbing details on the conflicts in the Middle East.
Titled 'I Saw My City Die,' the new report from the International Committee of the Red Cross focused on global conflicts between 2010 and 2015.
It showed, that in the last three years, 70 per cent of all civilian deaths in Iraq and Syria took place in cities.
Director General Yves Daccord says there are 80 conflicts currently raging in around 40 nations.
He's seeking more Australian support to assist those affected, and has met with Foreign Minister Julie Bishop.
