Canada is calling on the UN General Assembly to urgently convene a formal plenary meeting of all member states to take urgent action to alleviate the “horrific humanitarian situation” unfolding in Syria, especially in the besieged city of Aleppo, Radio Canada International reported.
Canada’s action comes after the UN Security Council once again failed to break its deadlock on Wednesday.
Russia continues to block resolutions it says unfairly target its ally President Bashar Al Assad, who’s been trying to wrestle back control of eastern Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city, from Syrian rebels whose ranks, according to Russian officials, include Al-Qaeda linked hardline jihadist groups.
According to Canadian officials, there has been no aid to eastern Aleppo in 150 days. The last remaining stockpile of food rations was completely exhausted by November 13, 2016, there are no functioning hospitals and 25,000 people have been displaced from their homes since Saturday.
