Amid years of criticism, @UN officials constantly reiterate their commitment to "the humanitarian imperative" in #Syria.
But let's be honest: that's BS.
The @UN is more concerned about managing their relations in #Damascus than prioritizing the lives of those in the northwest.

@UN Leadership at @UN HQ has consistently kowtowed to #Assad regime demands; allowed the systematic weaponization of aid & failed to crackdown on regime-fueled corruption within the aid system.
Investigations into all these issues -- & CWs too -- are often squashed or kept private.

@UN In the wake of the earthquake, #Assad's regime said *at the @UN* that disaster relief should *only* come via #Damascus.
Then the @UN claimed that road damage was why relief to the NW wasn't coming via the #Turkey border.
As time passes, that reasoning just isn't adding up.

@UN Trucks have now arrived into the NW:
- Delivering dozens of Syrian corpses from #Turkey
- Bringing a convoy of pre-planned, standard aid
BUT NO DISASTER RELIEF.
The issue is damaged roads? Nonsense.
Read between the lines & the truth is becoming clear, while more people die.

@UN .@antonioguterres is not telling us the full story.
He just confirmed what we already knew: x6 trucks crossed Bab al-Hawa into NW #Syria.
What he didn't say though, is that the trucks had been loaded *before* the earthquake -- nothing they contain relates to earthquake relief.

@UN @antonioguterres .@antonioguterres was just asked about #Assad's insistence that aid to NW #Syria should only come cross-line from #Damascus. Is that enough, he was asked?
His answer: "cross-line is *very* important" but don't politicize aid.
FACTS: 2022 aid to NW:
X-border: 99.4%
X-line: 0.6%
