Damascus, SANA- Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Dr. Fayssal Mikdad, Regional Director of United Nations Population Fund in Arab Countries (UNFPA), Laila Baker, and the accompanying delegation, discussed Thursday cooperation between the Population Fund and various parties in Syria, especially regarding the repercussions of the earthquake hit Syria last week.
During the meeting, Baker offered her condolences to Syria and to the families of the victims of the devastating earthquake, asserting that the United Nations Population Fund will exert all possible efforts to provide assistance to the affected regions.
In turn, Minister Mikdad highlighted the effects on the Syrian provinces hit by the earthquake, as he noted that this devastating earthquake came after twelve years of terrorist war on Syria.
He also pointed out to the negative effects of the unilateral coercive measures imposed on the country, which prevented the Syrians from securing the necessary equipment to confront this humanitarian catastrophe.
Mikdad stressed the keenness of Syrian Government to deliver humanitarian aid to all Syrians across the entire Syrian territory.
