UN official in Syria assured on Monday that the Syrian government has been exerting appreciated efforts to provide needs of people affected by the crisis.

Speaking in a press conference in Damascus, Resident Coordinator of UN Activities in Syria, Adam Abdelmoula, said: “The Syrian government and its bodies are exerting appreciated efforts to provide the needs of people affected by the crisis in Syria.”

Abdelmoula was quoted by SANA as saying that “there are hundreds of Syrian families who are hosting the families displaced by the evens despite all difficult circumstances.”

He further pointed out before journalists and representatives of UN organizations operating in Syria “these efforts prove that Syrians have embraced the values of solidarity and answered the challenges of the crisis as much as possible.”

Abdelmoula warned “against targeting humanitarian workers and infringements upon their work and properties,” stressing that “the current crisis is political,” and that “it produced a humanitarian disaster.”

The UN official considered that “the Syrian people's cultural and civilized heritage will allow it to overcome the crisis.”
