🇸🇾 Sanctions against Syria, which is dealing with the fallout of the devastating earthquake, drive prices up for everything and slow down humanitarian operations, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies told Sputnik.
💬 "Sanctions do have these unintended consequences. And if I summarize, [it] increases the prices on everything that we do, takes more time to deliver the humanitarian services, it sometimes requires private supplies that could again increase the cost and there is this level of fear sometimes to facilitate the existing procedures [with regard to] sanctions," IFRC Under-Secretary-General for Operations Coordination Xavier Castellanos said in an interview.
▪️ Turkiye and Syria were rattled on Monday by a pair of major earthquakes and dozens of aftershocks that killed more than 10,000 people and collapsed thousands of homes. Syria's death toll has topped 1,200 people.

🗣 Western countries do not provide necessary aid to the Syrian government, which is dealing with the fallout of the devastating earthquake, and only care about Turkiye or areas in Syria that are controlled by terrorist or opposition groups, the Syrian Presidency’s Special Advisor Bouthaina Shaaban said.
💬 "Unfortunately, the West only cares about areas where the terrorists are - where the White Helmets are - but they do not care about the areas in which most Syrian people live... Most of the money, all of the equipment has been dispatched to Turkiye from Europe and from the US. Nothing to Syria from Europe, at all," Shaaban told media.

🗣 "This is dynamite. And I think this story has legs. And I think this story is going to cause a lot of problems for a lot of people going forward," Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector & weapons of mass destruction whistleblower speaking on Seymour Hersh's revelation about US involvement in the Nord Stream bombings
💬 "Look, it's Seymour Hersh. The reputation speaks for itself. So when he writes it, it's well-sourced. This is an article that condemns the United States and condemns Norway, who is a coconspirator or a collaborator in this attack. And it condemns Germany for allowing itself to be attacked in this nature. And it absolves Russia," he added.
He also commented that the revelation will be silenced by western media: "I don't think you're going to see Seymour Hersh out there trying to pimp this thing. It's going to pimp itself. Of course, every journalist is going to be trying to talk to him. I believe every journalist is trying to talk to him. I just think he's at the point in his career where he doesn't need that, he doesn't need to get in the middle of the storm."
