In an interview on BBC Victoria Derbyshire on 2 December, we called for the UK's Royal Air Force to conduct humanitarian air drops on besieged areas of East Aleppo. We also highlighted our scepticism towards any Russian-led initiatives since they are the party conducting attacks against civilian areas in East Aleppo.
A group of Syrian organisations under the broad coalition 'Save Our Syria' issued a statement on 1 December calling for global action in conducting humanitarian aid drops onto besieged Eastern Aleppo. This was accompanied by a wider call to ensure civilian protection.
A group of over 200 relief and civil society organisations signed a statement on 1 December to call for urgent action on Syria by the United Nations General Assembly.
We were hosted by HCRI Manchester on 30 November to sit on a panel for an event titled 'What Next for Syria?' Other panellists were:
Rony Brauman from Medecins Sans Frontier
Rana Khalaf: Independent Research Consultant
Fakhri Mansour: HCRI postgraduate student
On overcoming the Russian veto in the UN Security Council, our Research and Policy Coordinator published an article on 28 November calling for the invocation of the 'Uniting for Peace' mechanism as a means of achieving international action on Syria.
