They called on all countries and international humanitarian institutions to break this unjust blockade and immediately provide assistance to Syria to help it confront the disastrous repercussions of the earthquake.

“The earthquake that rocked Syria killed and injured thousands of Syrians and Palestinians in the country and caused destruction and cracks to thousands of houses.
