Insufficient aid to affected areas in Syria

On 12 February, UN aid chief Martin Griffiths said, "We have so far failed the people in northwest Syria. They rightly feel abandoned. Looking for international help that hasn't arrived".[439] Human Rights Watch stated on 15 February that the lack of appropriate humanitarian support caused by Bashar al-Assad's policy of "obstructing aid" has proved to be "deadly" for the earthquake-stricken people of Idlib.[440]

As of 13 February, most reported Syrian deaths were in parts of the north-west not controlled by the government.[441] The affected area is controlled by many different organizations, and they sometimes obstruct aid from other organizations.[442] There was not enough modern rescue equipment to get people out from under the rubble before they died, and international aid has been obstructed by checkpoints.[443] Undersecretary of the NRC, Jan Egeland stated: "The most earthquake-stricken area of Syria is in the north-west.. We need full and free access across front lines, and full and free distribution."[444]

Syrian government officials and state-run media blamed United States and European Union sanctions against Syria for the lack of humanitarian aid and hampering rescue. On 10 February, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad criticized western countries, adding that they "have no regard for the human condition."[445] Turkey opened the Al-Salameh and Al-rai border crossings during the first week of the earthquakes; which enabled independent and non-governmental relief organizations to send aid to North-West Syria.[444]

As of 11 February, almost no international aid had reached the area controlled by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS),[443] and they have refused to accept aid from the Syrian government.[446] As of 13 February Bab al-Hawa is the only border crossing from Turkey the UN is allowed to send aid through: the others were blocked by earlier Security council vetos by Russia and China. The UN secretary general, António Guterres, was urging the security council to authorise the opening of new cross-border aid points between Turkey and Syria, but it was unclear whether that would overcome past objections.

Before a security council meeting on the crisis, however, diplomats said no draft resolution had yet been circulated.

Syrian government's policy of besieging North-West Syria; which blockades the supply of food, medicines and other humanitarian supplies, has led to a deterioration of the crisis in Idlib.[447] Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham rebel militia that governs Idlib has objected to approving aid sent only through Damascus, accusing the regime of weaponizing humanitarian relief. Growing calls for the supply of UN aid to the Northwest through other border-crossings have been vetoed by Russia in the Security Council, claiming that such measures erode the sovereignty of the Syrian government.[444][446]

Condolences

Condolences to Turkey and Syria were expressed by most countries that provided aid, as well as Bolivia,[448] the Democratic Republic of the Congo,[449] Ghana,[450] Grenada,[451] Monaco,[452] Morocco,[453] North Korea,[26] Nicaragua,[454] Peru,[455] Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic[456] South Africa,[457] and Tonga.[458]
