EU High Representative Federica Mogherini and Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid Christos Stylianides reiterated the urgency to allow humanitarian deliveries in parallel with the evacuation of the injured civilians in Aleppo. “We call on the Syrian authorities and their allies to renew the humanitarian pause in Aleppo and to issue the facilitation letters to allow the inter-agency convoy as planned in the UN October aid delivery plan,” they said in a joint statement issued on Tuesday 25 October.
“All parties must demonstrate unequivocally a genuine commitment to allow humanitarian aid operations to address the urgent needs of Syrian civilians and to provide safe and unhindered access to humanitarian organisations across the country,” they added.
The EU representatives called all parties to the conflict to stop shelling civilian areas and medical structures in Aleppo city, stressing that “there is no military solution to the Syrian civil war.” (EU Neighbourhood Info)
