The Syrian National Coalition: Aid through the regime represents supplying the killing machine with additional weapons

ARK News… The Syrian National Coalition said in a statement, on Thursday, that "sending humanitarian aid through the Assad regime represents supplying the criminal killing machine with additional weapons."

The statement said: "The Syrian National Coalition is following up on media reports that show that the Assad regime has stolen and buried hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid in the Amrit area in the countryside of Tartous, because it has expired due to long-term storage in the regime's warehouses, and its refusal to distribute it to the people. The coalition notes that the forces of the revolution I have warned on several previous occasions that the Assad regime is stealing humanitarian aid and preventing it from reaching the people."

The Syrian National Coalition affirmed that, "Sending humanitarian aid through the Assad regime represents supplying the criminal killing machine with additional weapons, as the regime prevents this aid from the people and distributes it to the militias and elements who participate with it in killing the Syrian people, and stores it until it spoils in its warehouses."

The National Coalition calls on the international community and the United Nations to deal immediately and seriously with this incident by creating an urgent mechanism to deliver humanitarian aid across the border to the regions of northern Syria, and to bypass the Russian veto, which will lead to an imminent humanitarian catastrophe against millions of civilians.

The National Coalition also called for international supervision over the distribution of aid that reaches the areas controlled by the Assad regime, to ensure that it is not stolen and handed over to the militias.
