America: Russia continues to thwart the delivery of aid to millions of Syrians
ARK News… The United States of America said that “Russia’s claims that it is a major supporter to the Syrian people through humanitarian aid are blatantly false.”
In a post titled (It's Fact-Checking Friday!) on the Facebook platform, the US Embassy in Damascus explained that "Russia continues to thwart the delivery of humanitarian aid to millions of Syrians."
“In July 2023, Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to renew the UN cross-border humanitarian assistance mechanism and provide greater food security to those in need,” it noted.
“The United States continues to support the delivery of assistance to those most in need, including through cross-border deliveries,” the embassy stated.
She stressed that "America remains the largest contributor to humanitarian aid to the Syrian people, having provided more than $17 billion in aid since the beginning of the conflict."
