Desde que la Secretaria General Adjunta de Asuntos Humanitarios y Coordinadora del Socorro de Emergencia informó por última vez al Consejo de Seguridad sobre la situación humanitaria en Siria, se han intensificado los actos de violencia perpetrados por las fuerzas del régimen sirio y los grupos terroristas extremistas. Las fuerzas del régimen sirio siguieron atacando zonas e instalaciones civiles, incluidos hospitales y escuelas, en Idlib, Alepo, Damasco, el este de Ghouta, Homs y Deraa y matando a hombres, mujeres y niños.
