State Minister for National Reconciliation Affairs Dr. Ali Haidar affirmed on Monday the Assad government is continuing efforts to meet the humanitarian needs of citizens in all areas through the Higher Relief Committee, pointing out that the government is currently providing around 70 percent of aid distributed to the Syrian people.
Meeting with Marianne Gasser, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Syria, Haidar stressed the importance of unifying governmental efforts to deal with the problem of missing people, adding that terrorist organizations are using the issue to stir mistrust between the Syrian government and the people.
“Terrorist organizations and the states supporting them have derailed local reconciliations and aid deliveries to citizens, thus posing major challenges to both files,” Haidar noted.
