Any cross-border humanitarian aid to Syria should pass through Syrian government: China

China’s permanent representative to the United Nations Zhang Jun has stressed that any international cross-border humanitarian aid to Syria should pass through the Syrian government, reiterating the need to respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“It is important that the Syrian government fully play a  leading role, and continue to scale up cross-line humanitarian relief operations,” Zhang told the Security Council.

He called for the removal of the unilateral coercive measures imposed by western countries on Syria and for helping the Syrian people restore normal life countrywide.

 “Years of illegal sanctions have severely damaged Syria’s economic and social development, exacerbated its humanitarian crisis and weakened its ability to respond to COVID-19,” Zhang said.

He added that these sanctions have caused severe food insecurity, rapid transmission of COVID-19 and sharp oil and medicine shortages.
