UN aid chief admits ‘failing’ Syrians in northeast Syria

UN aid chief Martin Griffiths admitted that the UN had “failed the people” in northwest Syria as thousands are feared dead in the rebel-held territory.

“They rightly feel abandoned. Looking for international help that hasn’t arrived,” Griffiths wrote on Twitter. 

“My duty and our obligation is to correct this failure as fast as we can. That’s my focus now.”
