“‘As much as we appreciate the whole political power and energy going into the really big threat of the use of chemical weapons (in Syria)… we would like to see similar kinds of efforts and energy deployed in order to create circumstances in which humanitarian workers can work,’ the International Committee of the Red Cross president told reporters in Geneva. His comments came as world diplomats rushed to avert threatened US-led strikes against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime over its suspected use of sarin gas against its own people last month. He said humanitarian workers lacked access to some of the most hard-hit parts of Syria.”
