In #Syria , wracked by 12 years of war, there are not enough rescue teams or medical equipment.

At this catastrophic hour, we call on all well-meaning people not to fall victim of the Syrian regime's propaganda.
Sanctions against the Syrian regime are not the obstacle to aid delivery, but the closure of border crossings and the consequent slow delivery of aid.
