Have you met any humanitarian groups? I'm especially interested in small groups of Syrian individuals living abroad like physicians in the US organizing themselves to take a trip to bring medial supplies to the people, perform surgeries, delivering ambulances, etc. Have you seen or heard about this while being there? Are they making any dent?

It's known by now that many organizations there fall under the government control. In fact, Asma (president's wife) overheads many... the government is exploiting humantarian aid... Check this out: http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/syrias-humanitarian-crisis-a-moral-and-strategic-issue . This is why many communities do not trust to blindly send the money and sometimes send delegates to deliver aid directly.
