USA: UN food-agency chief tells of ‘apocalyptic’ scenes in quake-hit Turkiye, Syria
UNITED NATIONS, Feb 26 (APP): The head of the World Food Programme (WFP), a Rome-based UN agency, concluded a visit on Saturday to earthquake-devastated Syrian and Turkish communities and aid supply routes, calling on authorities to open more border crossings to help survivors of the disaster that hit both countries in early February.
“While the world has quickly mobilized in support of people here, the impact of this quake will be felt for months and years to come,” WFP Executive Director David Beasley said in a statement.
