The head of the European Union delegation to Syria, Dan Stoenescu, announced in a tweet on “X” platform that “he made a visit to the Gilvegozu crossing, opposite the Bab al-Hawa crossing from the Turkish side, to witness the flow of humanitarian aid to the northwestern region of Syria.”
Stoenescu said: “I visited the Gilvegozu crossing on the Turkish side of the border opposite the Bab al-Hawa crossing, which represents an important lifeline to northwestern Syria.”
Stoenescu added: “Facilitating humanitarian aid delivery to northwestern Syria via Turkey is not only vital, but also life-saving.”
Stoenescu emphasized: “Millions in northern Syria experience dire circumstances in IDP camps, because humanitarian needs are the most severe.”
Stoenescu pointed out: “The European Union stands steadfast in supporting humanitarian efforts in northwestern Syria.”
Syria Response Coordination Group said in a statement: “more than 918 camps in northern Syria do not receive food aid, and 437 camps receive it intermittently. The Group also recorded more than 1,133 camps do not receive subsidized or free bread, and more than 1,378 camps do not contain any medical point or hospital, and work is limited to mobile clinics within intermittent periods.
It is noteworthy that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) recently issued a recent statistic on the numbers of people and those in need of humanitarian assistance in northern Syria, showing 5.1 million people in the region, of whom 4.2 million need aid, 3.6 million are facing food insecurity, and 3. 5 million are internally displaced.
