STORYLINE
Reading the joint statement by Brazil and Switzerland, co-penholders on the Syria humanitarian file, Ambassador Baeriswyl said, “The earthquake, which struck southern Türkiye, directly affecting northern Syria on Monday, 6th February, is a heartbreaking tragedy amid Syria’s humanitarian crisis."
The Permanent Representative of Brazil, Ronaldo Costa Filho, and the Permanent Representative of Switzerland, Pascale Baeriswyl, briefed reporters today (10 Feb) on the humanitarian situation in Syria at the Security Council Stakeout.
For years, the humanitarian situation in Syria has continued to deteriorate.
The suffering caused by the protracted conflict has been exacerbated by food insecurity, the COVID-19 pandemic, a critical economic situation, a water crisis, a cholera outbreak, harsh winter, and energy shortages, to name just a few.
Ambassador Pascale Baeriswyl said, “As we respond to this emergency, it is crucial to remember to also address the previously existing needs to continue to respond to them as well.”
She then urged all parties to facilitate access to relief efforts and allow assistance to reach all those in need.
She concluded, “Rapid, unimpeded, and sustainable access must be granted throughout Syria. All response modalities to reach people in need, coastline, cross-border are needed.”
Ambassador Costa Filho said that the co-penholders of the Syria humanitarian file have been in touch with all stakeholders since the beginning of the week.
Reaffirming the unanimous adoption of resolution 2672, he also said that all aid delivery modalities are necessary to save lives and assist civilians across Syria.
The Brazilian Ambassador stated, “humanitarian needs must be put above politics.”
He then welcomed the rehabilitation of the access to the Bab al-Hawa border crossing and yesterday’s first UN aid convoy reaching north-west Syria with relief assistance.
Ambassador Costa Filho also expressed appreciation for the decision of the Secretary-General to ask the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief, Martin Griffiths, to travel to areas affected by the earthquake this weekend.
He said that USG Griffiths’ assessment will shed light on the effects of the disaster on the UN humanitarian operations, including those mandated by resolution 2672.
In this regard, Switzerland and Brazil, as co-penholder, called for a meeting at the earliest time feasible, which should serve as an opportunity for hearing directly from Griffiths on his visit to the region.
Answering a journalist, the Brazilian Representative said, “The visit of USG Griffiths is key. He will be conducting an evaluation as to what the effective situation is, where the bottlenecks for the delivery of aid exist, and in how best members of the council can address that.”
He continued, “The relief has started to flow again through Bab al-Hawa. Additional needs and additional mechanisms that the Security Council should discuss will depend on an evaluation of the concrete situation on the ground. It cannot be a gut reaction to what is on the press.”
