Shaaban: Humanitarian aid drops to be decided by Syria and UN

Damascus, SANA-Presidential Political and Media Adviser, Bouthaina Shaaban, said on Thursday that “humanitarian aid drops” in Syria should be decided by the Syrian government and the UN.

“We are in need to eliminate terrorism and I wish the western countries think more about combating terrorism,” Sputnik news agency quoted Shaaban as saying via a video call during a conference in Washington on fighting ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra.

She added that the Syrian government works with the UN to find best means to deliver the food and medical assistance to all Syrians.

In a relevant context, Shaaban said the Syrian army has been able, with the help of Russian air forces, to defeat terrorists in large parts of Syria.
