Syria asking UNSC to speak up on airport strikes

Damascus is asking the UN Security Council to speak up about attacks on Syria’s airports and hold those responsible accountable, Acting Charge d’Affairs of Syria’s delegation to the UN, Al Hakam Dandi, said at a session on the political and humanitarian situation in the country.

"In only 10 days, there have been four attacks against two civilian airports in Syria which has halted the operation of the two airports and has also led to hindering the humanitarian operations of the United Nations, the Syrian Arab Republic," he said. "We call on the Security Council to end its silence and to uphold its responsibility and condemn these attacks and hold their perpetrators accountable," the diplomat added.
