Humanitarian Pauses in Aleppo Should not Be Used for Feeding Terrorists

UNITED NATIONS-Terrorists should not use humanitarian pauses in Aleppo, which are intended for supplying relief aid to the population, to replenish their resources, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said on Monday, according to Itar Tass.

Churkin said that the parameters of humanitarian cargoes, including the initiative to establish a 48-hour ceasefire in Aleppo with participation of UN special agencies, were being defined. “We firmly believe that humanitarian lulls should not be used by the terrorists to replenish their resources and regroup their forces like it used to be in the past.

 Churkin emphasized that it was necessary to tighten control over the passage of cargoes via the Turkish-Syrian border in order to prevent terrorists from using humanitarian corridors for strengthening their ranks with more gunmen and receiving fresh supplies of weapons and ammunition.
