The International Committee of the Red Cross, President Miriana Egger, calls for international humanitarian law to be respected in Syria. She made this statement at the end of her three-day visit to the country, during which she toured the cities of Aleppo and Idlib.
The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Egger, has concluded a three day visit in Syria. Her visit comes as the country has seen a transition in government following the ousting of former president, Bashar al-Asaad by a rebel group last month.
Now with an end to a 13 year long conflict in the country, Egger emphasizes the need to respect international humanitarian law and provide answers for families of missing detainees.
President Egger visited the cities of Aleppo and Idlib in which she saw efforts to support essential services like water supply and healthcare, both of which have been heavily impacted by years of conflict.
She also calls on stakeholders to protect such critical infrastructure.
