The United Nations will scale up aid deliveries to Syria's rebel-held northwest in coming days to help millions affected by this month's catastrophic earthquake, a senior U.N. official said
- rather than case-by-case approvals - for the same period for cross-line deliveries from government-controlled areas into the northwest.such deliveries while other relief bodies complain of security restrictions by the Damascus government that they say politicise aid distribution.
Flows of urgently needed aid via these routes will increase further once the U.N. is granted access by all parties, Hadi said. "We have commodities in the government-held areas, we have warehouses... and when you have people in need you need to think of efficiency and effectiveness. It's not about politics," he said. "We need access from all directions."
The crisis could lead to a resurgence of waterborne diseases linked to widespread damage to infrastructure. "After the earthquake we started seeing suspected cases of cholera and deaths that could be related to cholera," Hadi said. While the worst of the destruction inside Syria was concentrated in the northwest, some 8.8 million had been affected across the country and, on their behalf, donors needed to respond fast to a $400 million funding appeal, he said."If we don't get funding quickly and if we are not able to replenish stocks we will be put in a difficult situation," Hadi said.

Video of Australia storm falsely shared as 'HAARP cloud over Syria after Turkey earthquake'A video of a massive cloud forming over a coastal city has been shared repeatedly in multiple social media posts alongside the false claim it shows a 'strange HAARP cloud in Syria' after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated large swaths of the country as well as neighbouring Turkey. The posts misleadingly refer to a former US military project called High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), often cited by conspiracy theorists as the cause of various climate and weather anomalies. But the clip actually shows a storm cloud over Australia's Gold Coast and there is no evidence that HAARP was linked to the Turkey-Syria earthquake.
