​​​​​​​"Damascus government should feel ashamed for bargaining on people’s bread.”

 As part of a series of reactions condemning the practices of the Damascus government in imposing a siege on Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods and endangering the lives of hundreds of thousands, the Council of the Future Syria Party in Aleppo made a statement in this regard on Sunday.

 The statement was read by the administrator in the Organization Office of the Future Syria Party Council in Aleppo, Nima Sheikho, in the presence of dozens of party members and supporters.

 The statement began by condemning the policy of starvation on the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh, and said: “Syria is living under the weight of a stifling economic crisis, and the people of both neighborhoods have been suffering since the 13th of March under suffocation siege imposed by the Damascus government.

 He pointed out that the siege prevents basic materials, in conjunction with the advent of the holy month of Ramadan.

 The statement also warned of a humanitarian catastrophe, if the situation remained the same in the two neighborhoods whose population fabric consists of (Arabs - Kurds - Turkmens - Christ) in addition to the displaced from the furnace of war.

 Stressing that this policy of starvation is not new, "This is not the first time that the siege and starvation policy has been applied to the two neighborhoods. During the years of war, the region witnessed several crises and similar sieges by mercenaries and terrorist groups. Today, the Damascus government is completing the policy of systematic starvation since last March by preventing the flour to the region, knowing that the stored quantities have run out.

 He called on the international community to take urgent measures to avoid what could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.

 The statement ended by renewing the rejection of what he called bargaining over the people's livelihood, and emphasizing that rallying the components around each other is the best response to these practices.

 The long-term siege imposed by the Damascus government has caused a loss of flour in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh on the fourth day of the current month of Ramadan, which threatens to cause a humanitarian catastrophe that threatens the lives of 200 thousand people.
