WHO chief visits Syria for the first time after the earthquake

The Chief of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, visited Syria on Wednesday for the first time after the earthquake.

He travelled to Aleppo and Damascus in Syria. Tedros, the highest-ranking UN official, visited the country to check on earthquake victims. On Wednesday, he visited several hospitals and shelters for displaced people in Syria. He visited Syria from neighbouring Turkey via the Bab Al-Hawa crossing.

After the earthquake, activists and emergency aid groups slammed the UN (United Nations) for its slow response. Earlier, UN relief chief Martin Griffiths also said that the UN had “so far failed the people in northwest Syria.” He demanded immediate help for earthquake victims in northwest Syria.

Reportedly, after the February 6 earthquake, the United Nations appealed for $ 397 million to help earthquake victims in Syria. The UN said that around 420 trucks have entered Syria since the disaster. The first UN aid convoy was sent to Syria on February 9, three days after the earthquake. The aid consisted of tents, food and medical supplies.

More than 4 million people live outside government control areas in Syria, 90 per cent of whom depend on relief aid for survival. Syria is divided into various groups. The Idlib region is controlled by the Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham group.

Two other border crossings, Bab Al-Salama and Al-Rai, have been open for three months in order to help earthquake victims.

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Syria and Turkey on February 6, killing more than 50,000 people in these two countries. Subsequently, many countries and international organisations offered help to Syria and Turkey.
