biased endorsement of the American narrative about the alleged use of\u00a0chemical weapons in Khan Sheikhoun, affirming that Syrian never used such substances\u00a0and reiterating that the Khan Sheikhoun incident was fabricated by terrorist\u00a0organizations, mainly Jabhat al-Nusra supported by\u00a0the government of some countries for the purpose\u00a0of accusing the Syrian government.<\/p>\n<p>Munzer went on to say that the authors of the\u00a0report are determined to ignore the catastrophic effects of the illegal airstrikes<br \/>\ncarried out by the US-led international coalition which led to the killing of scores of\u00a0innocent civilians in the north and east of Syria, adding that they also attempted to\u00a0justify the Turkish regime&#8217;s military aggression against Syrian sovereignty as well\u00a0Turkey&#8217;s support for terrorist groups in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>The Syrian government provides about 75% of the\u00a0volume of humanitarian needs and deals positively with the UN and Japanese proposals for\u00a0facilitating the movement of monthly convoys, he elaborated, adding that the Syrian\u00a0government confirms the need for the UN to commit to coordinating with it on the basis of<br \/>\npartnership and cooperation regarding various aspects of humanitarian work, and not to\u00a0deal with or yield to the political agendas adopted by the government of some member\u00a0states.<\/p>\n<p>Munzer stressed that the Syrian government\u00a0dismisses the allegations and accusations directed by the authors of the report regarding\u00a0procedural and logistic issues connected with delivery the humanitarian aid to unstable\u00a0areas, adding that the Syrian government has provided facilitations for the delivery of<br \/>\nmore than 15 humanitarian convoys as per the monthly periodical convoy plan for April and\u00a0May, and work continues to send more convoys.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the OCHA and the authors of the\u00a0reports deliberately ignore the convoys which were run jointly by the International Committee of\u00a0the Red Cross and Syrian Arab Red Crescent, criticizing the OCHA office in Syria for\u00a0its lax efforts in organizing convoys and its selective tendencies in terms of which\u00a0areas receive convoys.<\/p>\n<p>The charg\u00e9 d&#8217;affaires asserted that the Syrian\u00a0people are still being victimized by what the hypocrisy and lies going on inside the Council<br \/>\nthat are practiced by the same group of countries which don&#8217;t want to put an end to the\u00a0crisis in Syria, but instead want to continue to manage and exploit terrorism and\u00a0impose an economic siege of the Syrian people.<\/p>\n<p>Munzer concluded by reiterating that the Syrian\u00a0government will continue its constructive role to ensure the success of the Astana and<br \/>\nGeneva meetings.<\/p>\n<p>For his Part, Russia&#8217;s representative at the UN\u00a0criticized the report submitted to the UN Security Council on Syria, saying that it&#8217;s not<br \/>\nbased on any clear methodology, while the Chinese representative hoped that the efforts\u00a0exerted in Astana and Geneva will lead to improving the humanitarian situation in Syria and\u00a0enhance the political process.<\/p>\n<p>H.
