schema:articleBody	Human Rights Watch on Tuesday called for medical aid to reach the embattled population of northeast Syria, where supplies are running short amid an outbreak of the novel coronavirus. "Two million people are stuck in northeast Syria without the tools to tackle outbreaks of COVID-19," said Gerry Simpson, associate crisis and conflict director at the rights watchdog. "As the number of infections rise, global and regional leaders should urgently act to allow lifesaving medical supplies and staff to reach those in desperate need of support." Under pressure from Russia, the UN Security Council in January reduced the number of border crossings authorised for delivering humanitarian aid to northern Syria from four to two, both on the Turkish frontier. The Yarubiya entry point on the Iraqi border, used mainly to deliver UN-funded medical aid to the region, was one of those scrapped. "The United Nations Security Council should immediately reverse its January decision to end its authorisation of moving UN aid supplies from Iraq to northeast Syria," HRW said. It also called on Syrian authorities in Damascus to "reverse their longstanding restrictions on aid reaching Kurdish-held areas in northeast Syria and allow medical supplies and personnel into the region." Last year not a single medical convoy for the northeast passed through the Syrian capital, the UN says. Syria has officially recorded 43 cases of the novel coronavirus, including three deaths in government-controlled areas and one death in Kurdish territories in the northeast. Nine years of war have battered healthcare across Syria, but the situation in the Kurdish-held northeast is particularly critical, especially in massive displacement camps such as Al-Hol, home to tens of thousands of people. This has raised fears of a health catastrophe in the event of a major coronavirus outbreak in a region lacking the resources to cope with the pandemic. ho/dr
