This afternoon.
A representative of the Syrian Civil Defence (The White Helmets) addresses a UN Security Council Arria-Formula Open Meeting on besieged Aleppo.
He said:
“We are speaking about a siege of 350,000 people, not 10, or 50, or a 100 people. We are talking about 350,000 humans. A huge humanitarian disaster that will shame humanitarian organisations forever.”

So what’s the suggested solution? Anyone?
Send aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean to pick up desperate refugees?
Not Irelands problem.
Let the USA, Canada and Russia help these people. Massive countries with large cities big enough to absorb these people.
