Un articolo del Guardian parla della situazione umanitaria in Siria, di cui si è parlato soprattutto a riguardo dell’assedio di Aleppo (sempre il Guardian, ha curato un articolo con alcune testimonianze ad Aleppo).

The desperate situation will be underlined in a UN report due to be published within weeks, which has mapped the severity of the crisis and the way it has affected communities across Syria.

Helena Fraser, a senior official at the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (Ocha), said: “It is shocking. The impact of the conflict and the sustained assault on access to healthcare is what I can only call catastrophic.”

Several rebel-held areas continue to be subject to bombardment, particularly in eastern Aleppo, where on Friday medics asked for permission to evacuate some of the more than 800 sick and injured people, including 261 children. More than 300 people are believed to have died in the latest hostilities.
