UN: At least 422,000 Syrians lack humanitarian aid in besieged areas
The United Nations was unable to deliver humanitarian aid to 422,000 Syrians living in besieged areas in July as the situation in the country continues to deteriorate, a U.N. official said Thursday. U.N. Undersecretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O’Brien urged the U.N. Security Council to do everything possible in its power to push for a political solution to end the conflict in the country. He added that human suffering was exacerbated in areas under siege, adding that another 4.6 million people live in hard-to-reach areas where only 12 percent of them received food aid over the past months.
