30/04/2016

KUWAIT-- National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanim on Saturday called on the international community, the UN and humanitarian agencies to exert intensive political and diplomatic pressure to stop bloody massacres committed in Syria's Aleppo, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of innocents.

Given a grinding humanitarian crisis, mass killing and chaos in Aleppo, there should not be just political or media talk, he said, calling for urgent humanitarian intervention with regional and international support to reach an immediate cessation of bloodshed in Aleppo.

He urged major countries, especially those concerned with the Syrian dossier, as well as the UN to seek to stop bloody massacres that claimed the lives of innocents in Aleppo, and to give regional and international humanitarian agencies access to the violence-hit city.

The speaker emphasized that there should be now immediate humanitarian action, rather than military or political one.
