NEW YORK, 27 May 2022, (TON): The US warned “denial of access for humanitarian efforts during armed conflicts is reinforcing a vicious cycle of killings and forced displacements.”
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the permanent US representative to the UN said “the result of this can be seen in Syria where, after 11 years of the “Assad regime’s brutal war,” 14 million people rely on humanitarian aid to survive and 6.6 million are displaced within their own country.”
She called for the renewal and expansion of existing crossing points and addition of new crossings to make it easier to deliver aid to the Syrian people.
She said “every month, Syrian civilians are attacked and killed by the Assad regime and others.”
“And hospitals often don’t have the medicine or supplies to help the injured because humanitarian convoys aren’t able to reach them.”
