voiceofrussia.com – Syria’s humanitarian problems shouldn’t be manipulated – Lavrov

Russia is against the practice of manipulating the issue of humanitarian aid for Syria and using it as a pretext for external intervention, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
”Like the chemical weapons issue in rigged or untrue reports was used to urge the West to start a war against the regime, humanitarian aid is being manipulated by some as a pretext for external intervention,” he told a media forum in Rome.
”Hysterics erupted a few weeks ago about a polio epidemic in Syria and calls we issued for sending an epidemiologists corps to that country and for building hospitals,” he said.
”We checked this information with the World Health Organization. There were ten polio cases. But despite this small number of cases, vaccines were sent to Syria and children are being vaccinated. This is the way one should act if aid is to be provided,” Lavrov said.

Samtidigt tog vi kontakt med deras anhöriga samt UD, säger Fredric Alm, som menar att Niclas Hammarström ”nog är den bland svenska fotografer som har störst erfarenhet av Syrien”:
