Russia Urges UN to Ramp Up Aid to Syrians

Aid to Syrians
Russia on Monday urged UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura to ramp up humanitarian aid, as Moscow said it would dispatch demining experts to the city of Deir ez-Zor after regime gains.


Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu sent a letter to de Mistura in which he stressed the need for more humanitarian assistance in Syria in areas freed from "terrorists".

"The document notes that government troops freed from terrorists a significant part of Syria with the help of Russia's air force," the defense ministry said, AFP reported.

"Conditions have been created for the revival of peaceful life."

Shoigu singled out a "complicated situation" in refugee camps located in the border town of Al-Tanf and Uqayribat in Hama province, the ministry said, adding that Syrians needed more than 1,000 tons of food and more than 80 tons of medical supplies.
