The statement indicated that the devastating earthquake left behind hundreds of victims and thousands of wounded, in addition to the displacement of a large number of families from their areas of residence which have been subject to severe damages together with the vital installations and infrastructure.
The statement indicated that what Syria has been subjected to for more than 11 years, from a relentless terrorist war, a unilateral economic blockade, and unfair coercive measures that included the economic, social, health, educational, and living aspects of the Syrian citizen’s life, has greatly weakened the local capabilities and negatively affected the evacuations, rescue, relief and first aid.
