Medical kits for 30,000 people<\/STRONG><\/P>
\nTo help tackle the humanitarian emergency in Syria, and on Minister Terzi\u2019s instructions, Italian Development Cooperation has sent medical kits for the Syrian people suffering the effects of the violence in their country. The kits left from the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Brindisi. <\/P>
\n
The medical kits, which will enable over 30,000 people to be treated, will arrive directly in Damascus. From there, they will be delivered to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) for distribution through the Syrian Red Crescent. <\/P>
\n
In Jordan, medical supplies for the treatment of 20,000 people will be distributed by the Italian Embassy and by Italian Development Cooperation personnel. The aid will be concentrated in the Mafraq and Ramtha regions, to which about 21,000 Syrian refugees have fled from the attacks in their country.<\/P>

A credible pathway to a political solution<\/STRONG><\/P>
\nItaly\u2019s diplomatic action is focusing on the implementation of \u201ca credible pathway to reach a political solution\u201d, in which Russia has a \u201cfundamental\u201d role. Minister Terzi has discussed the question with Secretary General of the Arab League, Nabil El Araby. The goal, explained Terzi, is to find a concrete mode of implementing the Annan Plan, which thus far has not produced results. Its application, however, is \u201curgent\u201d, because the population is being subjected to \u201crepeated massacres\u201d.<\/P>
\n
The solution of the crisis should also entail the \u201cconstructive involvement of Russia, whose input is vital\u201d, in view not just of its role on the United Nations Security Council but also of its policy of maintaining a \u201creal relationship\u201d with Damascus. In the meantime, the UN mission \u201cshould be strengthened to have a real impact on what\u2019s happening on the ground, with vehicles and equipment that enable it to operate more freely and in safety\u201d. <\/P>
\n
Amnesty International has accused the Syrian regime of \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d affecting communities suspected of supporting the insurgents. In its report, Amnesty claims to possess recent evidence that soldiers from the Syrian army have dragged numerous Syrian civilians from their homes and killed them. The victims, says Amnesty, include children.<\/P>
