Vershinin: Issue of humanitarian aid for Syria mustn’t be politicized

Moscow, SANA – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin affirmed on Monday that the issue of humanitarian aid for Syria mustn’t be politicized and that aid should be delivered in coordination with its legitimate government.

Vershinin said in statements to journalists that sending humanitarian aid to different areas in Syria is implemented successfully by the Syrian government, calling for all sides to continue sending humanitarian aid to all Syrians without exception and to increase its amount.

He noted that maintaining a single crossing point for delivering aid is enough and it should not be a cause for concern by anyone, pointing out that the main task now is to alleviate the Syrians’ suffering.
