United News, Nov 13 : Amid worsening humanitarian, health and security situation in Syria’s besieged eastern Ghouta, the United Nations health agency has demanded that all parties to the conflict stop attacks on civilians, facilitate immediate medical evacuations, and allow safe passage of medical supplies.
“The situation is heartbreaking,” said Elizabeth Hoff, the head of the UN World Health Organisation (WHO) operations in Syria, in a news release on Sunday.
“We have now reached a critical point, where the lives of hundreds of people, including many children, are at stake. If they do not immediately get the medical care they urgently need, they will most likely die.”
