United Nations, Feb 16 (EFE).– The Syrian government has approved the access of humanitarian aid to seven besieged parts of the country, the United Nations announced Tuesday as it prepared the convoys that will bring assistance to the more distressed areas.

Their specific destinations are Deir al-Zor in the east; Foua and Kafraya in Idlib; and Madaya, Zabadani, Kafr Batna and Mouadamiya al-Sham in rural Damascus, U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq told a press conference.

The international community has identified all these places as extremely destitute and included them in the accord to provide humanitarian aid that was reached by the nations involved last week in Munich.

According to Haq, the U.N. is getting aid convoys ready to depart “as soon as possible.”

United Nations mediator Staffan de Mistura, on a visit to Damascus, had already let it be known that on Wednesday an attempt will be made to get help to places under siege and that such an attempt will put to the test whether the Syrian government intends to live up to its agreement.

“It is clear it is the duty of the government of Syria to want to reach every Syrian person wherever they are and allow the U.N. to bring humanitarian aid,” De Mistura said after meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem.

“Tomorrow we test this,” De Mistura announced in a statement issued by his office in Geneva and in which he recalled that access to these areas will be carried out by convoys, whose routes will be coordinated by the U.N. office in Damascus. EFE
