To face the repercussions of the earthquake... Tunisian and Egyptian calls to lift the siege on Syria

Cairo-Tunisia-Sana

A member of the Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly and a leader in the Egyptian Syndicate of Supervision, Taher al-Hashemi, called for lifting the unjust Western blockade imposed on Syria, to counter the effects of the earthquake that struck it, resulting in hundreds of victims and injuries.

Al-Hashemi said in a special statement to SANA's reporter in Cairo today: "We raise our voice loudly to lift the injustice and siege imposed on the resisting Syrian people," stressing his full solidarity with Syria for its suffering as a result of the humanitarian catastrophe that occurred as a result of the earthquake, and expressing his condolences to the families of the victims.

Al-Hashemi added: “Syria is in the heart of all the free people of the world, and for 12 years it has been subjected to a dark, demonic war targeting its steadfastness and sovereignty and affecting people and infrastructure,” pointing to the effects of the unjust economic blockade practiced by the United States and its allies on Syria, especially in light of this humanitarian crisis.

In a related context, the Tunisian branch of the National Union of Syrian Students affirmed that the blockade imposed by the United States on Syria is inhuman and has no legal legitimacy, and called for the immediate lifting of this blockade.

In a statement, the Union branch demanded, of which SANA received a copy, to work to strengthen Arab and international solidarity with Syria, to save and protect its earthquake-stricken people, stressing that the Western blockade on it obstructs the relief movement that is obligatory for the Arabs and for humanity as a result of the earthquake that it was exposed to.
