@UN In NW #Syria, financial donations are coming in from abroad, but nothing in terms of real-world assistance.
They need manpower, fuel, equipment, food, shelter etc.
#Egypt managed to get a team of rescue specialists in to aid @SyriaCivilDefe, but it's unclear how they got there.

@UN @SyriaCivilDefe The earthquake + @UN inaction/risk aversion has achieved what #Assad's regime never managed:
-- NW #Syria is now fully under siege; from the south (regime areas) & the north (via disaster-hit #Turkey).
Only concerted international action will see this siege ended.

@UN @SyriaCivilDefe There has been a serious push, by #Syria's opposition & the US-UK-Germany-France to see Bab al-Salameh, Jarablus, al-Rai and Bab al-Hawa crossings *all* opened for external aid into NW #Syria.
#Ankara has signaled that it's willing, but we still need the aid & implementers.
