Manipulation of Data on Humanitarian Situation in Syria Unacceptable: Moscow

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said that falsification and manipulation of data on humanitarian situation in Syria is unacceptable.


Manipulation and falsification of data on humanitarian situation in Syria is unacceptable, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Tuesday.

"Unfortunately, some of our partners tried to use the humanitarian aspect in political aims … In fact, there was deception, falsification, manipulation of data, and so on … This situation is unacceptable and I have to say that the United Nations did not present itself in the best light," Gatilov said.

On February 6, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova urged the UN Secretariat to conduct an internal investigation into silencing information about significant medical supplies found in Syria's Aleppo, confirmed by the Damascus authorities and several UN officials, while some non-governmental organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, White Helmets, distributed information on shortage of medicines in the city which was taken up by the UN Secretariat.

Delegations of Belgian lawmakers visited Aleppo in February and hailed the humanitarian assistance provided by Russia there. The lawmakers are expected to present a report on Russian assistance in Syria at Belgian and European parliaments.
