A Catholic charity’s projects coordinator reporting from the scene of the devastating earthquakes has said that there is little, if any, evidence of aid getting through to Syria.
Xavier Bisits, the head of Syria and Lebanon projects for Aid to the Church in need, who travelled to Aleppo within hours of the catastrophe, decried an apparent lack of international support in response to a catastrophe whose death toll has risen to at least 41,000.
Reflecting on the widespread dismay in Syria about the lack of aid from abroad, Mr Bisits said: “There are almost no signs of an international response – the only international volunteers I have seen personally in Syria are from Lebanon.”
