Of the 3,500 deaths so far reported in Syria the bulk occurred in the northwest, in territory largely held by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. "We won't allow the regime to take advantage of the situation to show they are helping," the source said. Earlier on Sunday U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths said people of north-east Syria had been failed and"rightly feel abandoned"."An aid convoy from Syria's Kurdish-led northeastern region carrying fuel and other aid was also turned back‮ ‬on Thursday from the northwest, where Turkey-backed rebels reign.

U.N. aid chief Griffiths"is working the phones very hard on that front on the diplomatic front, speaking to everyone to unlock more border crossings," Laerke said.
