Oxfam reaction to UN Security Council Vote on Syria Cross-border aid
Format
In response to the results of the vote on a UN resolution continuing to allow cross-border aid into Syria, Oxfam’s Regional Humanitarian Campaign Lead for MENA, Georges Ghali said:
“The UN Security Council’s decision to renew the cross-border resolution for 6 months with a review for renewal means that millions of Syrians who are suffering from the scourge of war, compounded by an economic collapse and a global pandemic, will continue to face an uncertain future. At a time when three in five Syrians ―12.4 million people― are facing acute hunger, it is unconscionable to limit humanitarian assistance in this way.
