- UN: No aid to besieged areas in #Syria in 2 months


The Adviser to the #UN special envoy for #Syria, Jan Egeland, warned on Thursday that there has been no aid delivery to areas in #Syria in the last two months as the regime approval of aid convoys has been the lowest level in three years.

Egeland said during a news conference in Geneva "The last convoy to the besieged area was at the end of November,"

"Through December and January, there has not been a single convoy of lifesaving relief, medical supplies or food to any besieged areas. That is the worst we have experienced since 2015. We have not sent medical evacuation since end of December," Egeland added.

In Raqqah, where ISIS terrorist fighters were cleared in October and the PKK/PYD terrorist group took control, Egeland said explosives had since killed or wounded an average of 50 people per week in the city.

Egeland also noted 15,000 civilians had fled to the northern city of Afrin, after Turkey launched a defensive military operation there to eliminate terror elements near its border with #Syria.
