Assad: Syrian authorities use every opportunity to restore destroyed areas

This was stated by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during a visit to the debris removal site in Aleppo.

“We will do everything possible to restore the destroyed areas and help the victims, we will send all the reserves of the state there,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Assad called the current situation in Syria catastrophic.

According to the latest data, 1347 people became victims of the earthquake in Syria.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres stressed that no sanctions should prevent the provision of humanitarian assistance to Syria after the earthquake.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that more than 20 tons of humanitarian cargo was delivered to Syria by the military transport aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces for the victims of the earthquake.
