UN concerned over humanitarian situation in Aleppo

The United Nations called on all parties to the conflict in Aleppo, Syria, to allow safe, unimpeded and impartial humanitarian access in line with international humanitarian law.

The UN remains deeply concerned over the plight of people trapped in Aleppo, as reports indicate that intense fighting has continued in the last days, and that many stores have closed as food runs low, UN secretary general’s deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq said according to the UN News Center.

Meanwhile, he added, an inter-agency convoy delivered food, nutrition, health, water, sanitation, hygiene and other emergency items for 71,000 people in need to the hard-to-reach area of Al Houla, in Homs governorate yesterday. Surgical items were removed from health kits during the loading.
