Comments about UN aid campaign in besiege areas in Syria




Reading the article by The Guardian titled as "UN accused of taking sides in Syrian conflict" makes wonder why it took so long for someone to comment about this matter. UN is acting like this for a long time but only now someone decided to speak against it.

It is more than clear that UN is downing its head to Assad Regime.

UN says its mission is to preserve world peace yet we dont see it having any active voice in the Syria conflict, UN didn't take any step to prevent the event, nor to change the course of it and now its not taking any action to help those affected by it.

It takes almost forever for UN to deliever aid in besiege areas in Syria and their excuse is that the Regime is not answering their requests... Since when and Intergovernamental Organization strong like UN, supported by pretty much the whole globe, needs any approval to deliever aid to those suffering and dying for hungry because of a government that kill their own civilians?

If our global peacekeeper organization is so weak it can't even impose themselves toward governments like the one in Syria, then it is useless and we dont need to have it anymore. 

Despite all the dificulty delivering aid to Syria, with 75% of the requests of delivering aid in besiege area being denied in 2015, Syria government areas didn't stop receiving them though. It is estimated that 95% of the food sent to Syria, were delivered in government controled areas.

While it is too hard for UN to send trucks to cities like Daraya, they didn't seem to have any dificulty dropping aid in places like Deir ez Zour. Why didn't they drop aid in besiege areas too? Good questions. Maybe the fact that these areas dont support Bashar might have something to do with it.

It is not UN's business anyways, Their job is to keep the peace and in extreme events, try to make innocents affected by conflicts suffer the less possible, providing them support, food and medicine. Leaving asides governments and keep the impartiality.
