geng shuang stressed the need to promote fundamental improvement in the humanitarian situation in syria. with the joint efforts of the syrian government and the united nations, the cross-border rescue mechanism has been operating stably. china urges relevant parties to show flexibility and make efforts to resume cross-line rescue. china calls on donors to implement their aid commitments and ensure that humanitarian projects throughout syria receive adequate financial support. unilateral sanctions and illegal resource plunder have severely weakened syria's ability to recover its economy and develop its society and must be stopped immediately.
