EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides said the bombing of East Aleppo by the Syrian regime in the last few days and the refusal to allow medical and other urgent humanitarian supplies into the city during the pause in the fighting are “unacceptable violations of international humanitarian law [that] could amount to war crimes and must cease.”
“The airstrikes must be stopped to allow humanitarian aid delivery into East Aleppo and the evacuation of wounded civilians,” he added stressing that “those responsible for such atrocities will be held accountable under international law. They must realise that each new atrocity of this kind only makes an end to the conflict harder to achieve.”
