 ALEPPO, (ST)- Minister of State for Environment Affairs Nazira Sarkis has urged environment-concerned bodies to specify the environmental damages caused by the sabotage acts perpetrated by armed terrorists groups in Aleppo and find necessary solutions to protect the environment.

During her meeting on Saturday with Aleppo Environment Directorate staff, Sarkis stressed the importance of intensifying efforts being exerted to enhance environment protection, calling for more cooperation between the Directorate and research centers in Aleppo University to assess the damages caused by terrorists to the environment in the governorate of Aleppo.

She also affirmed the need to evaluate the environmental situation in Aleppo, including the safety of water, air and soil, calling for more cooperation among people’s organizations and civil society associations to protect environment from pollution, disseminate awareness about environment pollutants and urge citizens to participate in cleaning campaigns.

Sarkis said the Ministry is currently working on providing the National Environmental Observatory with the data needed aiming at drawing up a map for the current and future environment situation in all Syrian governorates.

For his part, Aleppo Governor Mohammad Wahid Akkad said the governorate continues to observe environment pollutants particularly in poor districts and works hard to treat environment problems.
