First humanitarian aid convoy expected to arrive in four days – It is on its way to the Turkish border and is expected to enter northwestern Syria today
The first convoy humanitarian aid for the earthquake victims of northern Syria is on its way to the southern Turkish border.
The goal, according to humanitarian organizations, is to cross the border of Turkey today and reach northwestern Syria today, which has been hit by the deadly earthquake.
According to one source, the motorcade includes six trucks.
According to the figures that have been published, the dead from the earthquake in Syria reach 3,162.
Meanwhile, late last night, a four-story building collapsed in a suburb of Damascus, according to the Syrian news agency SANA.
The building was located in the suburb of Harasta, east of the capital.
Rescuers rushed to the scene to search for those trapped in the ruins.
The collapse followed a 4.3-magnitude earthquake centered on the Syria-Lebanon border at around 10pm (local time) and was felt in Damascus.
The Syrian government has asked the US and the EU to lift economic sanctions, while yesterday Wednesday the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Syrian government, Fesal Mekdad, said that “sending aid from Europe does not need to undergo a bureaucratic process. International law states that humanitarian aid is not subject to sanctions, so this is no excuse.”
Rescue teamss working in government-controlled areas they spotted the lack of heavy machinery and medical equipment needed to clear the rubble and treat the injured due to Western sanctions.
