French president calls for humanitarian action in Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench President Francois Hollande calls for the immediate implementation of humanitarian measures in Syria in order to build the conditions of a “credible ceasefire” two weeks before a new round of peace talks expected to take place in Geneva.
Hollande says in a statement that humanitarian aid should reach besieged areas, especially the rebel-held town of Madaya.
The French president meets Monday with Riad Hijab, coordinator of the opposition team that will negotiate with the Syrian government.
Syrian President Bashar Assad “can’t have a role” in Syria’s future, Hollande says.
