The United Nations envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, warned, this Wednesday, in a speech before the Security Council, against the suspension of humanitarian aid in the Syrian refugee camps, with the increasingly harsh conditions in which they live .
Pederson said that military operations in northern Syria have caused dozens of civilian deaths.
The UN envoy noted that Syrians suffer from clear food and water shortages, at a time when the Syrian regime called on humanitarian organizations to halt their activities in northeast Syria.
Pederson warned that humanitarian operations in northeastern Syria are threatened to cease, in light of the increasingly difficult situation in the Al-Hol refugee camp.
Pederson also warned that any escalation in military operations at this time would have devastating effects on the Syrian people.
Pederson said there is still the opportunity to reach an understanding on the constitution between the Syrian opposition and the regime.
Pedersen added that on January 25 the Syrian Constitution Drafting Committee will hold a new round of negotiations, indicating that there is still an opportunity to reach an understanding on the constitution between the Syrian opposition and the regime.
