Syria's Assad calls for Gaza aid
Syrian President Bashar Assad said Friday that action should be taken against Israel because of its actions against the Gaza Strip.
A presidential statement said both Assad and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon support implementing measures that would allow aid to enter the Gaza Strip, the Kuwait News Agency, KUNA, reported.
The call for international action regarding Israeli efforts came during a telephone conversation between the two leaders, the statement said.
KUNA said the discussion occurred as a second convoy of trucks carrying aid supplies departed from Syria in an attempt to deliver the goods to struggling Gaza Strip residents.
