Revolutionary military forces refuse Red Crescent aid to approach northern Aleppo

Revolutionary military forces refuse Red Crescent aid to approach northern Aleppo

 'Revolutionary forces announced on Friday that they would not allow the Syrian Red Crescent organization to enter northern Aleppo, "the areas of the Euphrates Shield", and infiltrate the area under the pretext of the distribution of international aid, considering that the organization is an intelligence institution led by the regime.
 "The Syrian regime tries to fish in troubled water through its (Red Crescent) intelligence agency," Hour Killis operations room said in a statement , adding "The regime is seeking to infiltrate the Euphrates Shield area under the pretext of bringing international aid to al-Bab city, in an effort to highlight itself as a" needs supplier for the people before the international community. "

 The commander of the military council of al-Bab city, "Abu Ibrahim al-Taweel" told AlDorar AlShamia network : The Syrian Red Crescent has been in contact with the local council in al-Bab, in order to introduce humanitarian aid from the town of Tadef, which was rejected directly.

 Al-Taweel added that, the city of al-Bab in particular and the region in general definitely need assistance, especially with the presence of thousands of displaced, but the areas of the eastern Ghouta and besieged towns in Homs and Damascus come in the first place. However, if the Red Crescent is sincere in its intention to provide assistance, it must enter the Turkish territory through the crossing points between the two countries.

 For its part, Hour Killis operations room considered that the region does not need this aid, and the Red Crescent has to send such supplies to the besieged areas in the eastern Ghouta and the countryside of Homs and trapped people in Deir al-Zour and desert camps.
For several days, the Syrian Red Crescent has been trying to communicate with local councils and civilian bodies in northern Syria in order to obtain information on the population numbers and details of their lives, on the pretext of preparing lists for submission to the Red Cross for international assistance.'

 "An example of the trouble with aid organisations in a one party state, a Hama based coordinator for SARC on site and in her private life. When the aid agency's staff is dominated by openly partisan people in such a brutal war, aid deliveries can become another instrument of war."
