　　[Global Network Reporter Zhang Xiaoya] "The United States continues to plunder the earthquake-hit Syria for oil."

The Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 5th that the devastating earthquake that occurred last month has killed more than 6,700 Syrians and injured more than 14,500. Although Washington announced a temporary relaxation of US sanctions against Syria, it still ruled out the complete lifting of sanctions. Continue to exploit and plunder resources from resource-rich areas such as Syrian oil.

Iran's Mehr News Agency also quoted the Syrian News Agency as reporting the news.

　　"The United States and its (supported) local Kurdish militia alliance smuggled two other convoys of Syrian oil out of the country." Satellite News Agency said that a source told the local Syrian media on the 4th local time that they found a convoy of 23 vehicles. A convoy of 34 vehicles, including trucks and tankers, was seen traveling through illegal border crossings to Iraq.

　　The satellite agency said that the oil smuggling that occurred on the 4th was the second time this week.

On Monday, some media reported that the U.S. military stationed in Syria had shipped oil from a Syrian oil field to a base in Iraq.

　　Bassam al-Sabagh, Syria's permanent representative to the United Nations, on Tuesday slammed Washington's efforts to politicize humanitarian relief in Syria after last month's devastating earthquake, slamming the United States for its "illegal control of oil and gas wells in northeastern Syria, and smuggling oil out of the country” has “deprived the Syrians of supplies and revenues worth billions of dollars”.

　　The report also said Syrian officials estimate that the damage caused by the war will take decades and as much as $400 billion in resources to restore.

The World Bank, meanwhile, estimated this week that an additional $5.1 billion in damages from last month's earthquake has been added to Syria.

Under the pressure of international public opinion, the U.S. government announced on February 9 that it would temporarily relax U.S. sanctions against Syria, but only for transactions related to Syria’s earthquake relief and relief needs, with a time limit of 180 days.
