West Providing Earthquake Relief Only To Terrorist-Rebel-Held Areas, Not Government - Damascus

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 Turkey 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 Turkey from Europe and from the US.

Nothing to Syria from Europe, at all," Shaaban told Sky news.
