UN aid ‘insufficient’ in northwest Syria

Rescue workers in opposition-held northwest Syria have said aid received from the UN is currently insufficient.  

“The UN are not delivering the aid that we are in most need of to help us save lives with time running out,” Raed al Saleh, who leads the White Helmets volunteer rescue group, told Reuters.

Volunteers are relying on simple tools and old cranes, and in urgent need of heavy equipment for search and rescue operations, charities and rescuers said.
