The United
Nations remained deeply concerned over the plight of up to 2 million
people in need of assistance across Aleppo city and for those in the
surrounding countryside in Syria, a UN spokesman said on Monday.
The
humanitarian situation in Aleppo was dire, including in the east of
the city where between 250,000 to 275,000 people remain trapped
following the July closure of the Castello Road, the last remaining
access route in and out of the area, Farhan Haq, the deputy UN
spokesman, said at a daily news briefing here.
The
situation was also bad in government controlled areas in the west,
where between 1.2 million and 1.5 million people live, as well as in
the surrounding suburbs and neighboring countryside which have
continued to suffer from attacks, Haq said.
