UN Agencies: 60% of Health Facilities Were Destroyed In Syria
The Assad regime’s targeting of Syrian cities caused the destruction of 60% of health facilities, image04according to UN humanitarian organizations. A report by the United Nations Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) said that 55% of the 88 hospitals were damaged while 31% of the health centers are out of service, pointing out that 10% of these health centers have been damaged, besides using hospitals as centers of refugees and displaced persons. Jawad Abu Hatab, Chief of the Medical Committee of the Syrian Coalition, said that “the Assad regime has been targeting health facilities since the start of the revolution, either through deliberate bombing or siege. 15 million people receive the services of field hospitals.” Abu Hatab also said that 911 doctors have been killed so far, while 980 medics were injured as a result of Assad regime’s targeting of field hospitals. The estimated losses of the health sector in Syria are 6.2 billion SYP.

Syrian Interim Government Welcomes UNSC Resolution on Humanitarian Aid
The Syrian interim government has issued a statement welcoming the UN Security Council image00Resolution No. 2139 demanding the delivery of humanitarian aid to all Syrian cities. The statement stresses that the resolution “is a first step towards addressing the dire humanitarian needs of the Syrian people through obliging the Assad regime to lift the siege on the Syrian cities. The interim government stresses it is committed to international and humanitarian law. It also welcomes the resolution’s call to stop Assad’s barbaric war machine and aerial bombardment on the Syrian, calling for taking all the necessary steps and to force the Assad regime to abide by international and humanitarian law.” The interim government also calls for the immediate and full implementation of the UNSC resolution, stressing the need to press the Assad regime to immediately lift the blockade on all the besieged areas. Furthermore, the interim government stresses it has taken all the necessary steps to rapidly implement the resolution and that it is ready to work and coordinate with the UN and relief organizations for the safe delivery of aid to those who in need. It is unfair to equate between the Syrian people, who have been subject for three years of murder, bombing, arrests, siege and starvation, and the Assad regime who did not stop using of his barbaric military against defenseless civilians in violation of the most basic rules of international and humanitarian law.” The interim government also stresses that Assad’s staying in power is the sole cause of violence in Syria, and that the solution to the humanitarian tragedy in Syria is linked to reaching a political solution based on Geneva I Communique and UN Security Council Resolution No. 2118, which provides a mechanism for political transition through the formation of a transitional governing body with full executive powers.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
