Dubai (ST) – Managing Director of the International Monetary fund (IMF) Kristalina Georgieva has called on the countries of the world to provide urgent aid to Syria to face the damage caused by the devastating earthquake that hit the country dawn last Monday.

Reuters news agency quoted Georgieva as saying today in a speech to the World Governments Summit held in Dubai on Monday that it is time to stand by the Syrian people who were affected by the destructive earthquake. She urged the International community to extend a helping hand urgently.

In reply to a question about the necessity of easing the sanctions that prevent the delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria, Georgieva said: “The Syrians will not be able to withstand a few more days without shelter, food and water”.
