Geneva / Damascus (ICRC), the International Committee of the Red Cross said, regardless of the outcome of ongoing peace talks in Geneva, Syria in this field for the past 5 years, the parties to the conflict must be allowed to aid the normal regular circulation, to all the war-torn civilians.

The International Committee of the Red Cross in Damascus leader Marianne Gasser said: "we arrived in madaya earlier this month, I saw a lot of malnourished children and the elderly frail, physically shocking. Although we have negotiated for a few months, only a few trucks have been delivered. It's too little for some people and too late. "

Ms. Gasser said, there are still dozens of towns are inaccessible to humanitarian organizations, for example, rich, Adamiya Duma, mu Jifulaya and Deir ezzor (DeirEzour).

As the new round of Syria peace negotiations began, the warring parties gathered in Geneva, "this is a positive signal. But we have been pushing and asking for regular access to these towns and other cities and towns to solve great suffering - but not so far. "

Ms. Gasser said the belligerent parties must stop attacking the country's heavily damaged infrastructure, especially health facilities and water supply facilities. These facilities, which are often repaired by the International Committee of the Red Cross and other humanitarian organizations, are immediately attacked by a new round of attacks.

Ms. Gasser said that more than 4 million 500 thousand people lived in areas which were extremely difficult to enter because of the war. Their humanitarian needs were huge. About 500000 of them lived in areas surrounded by different belligerent parties and the political solution to relieve the siege had not yet appeared. "No aid can enter all of these areas, which makes millions of people at risk. "

"Those who are in control of Syria now and tomorrow must have a pause," Gasser said. "Think about the current horrendous and the spread of the national suffering, and think about how they can help us to restore our hope; life must be higher than politics. "
