SYRIA: BAN URGES WARRING PARTIES IN QUSAYR TO FREE CIVILIANS TRAPPED BY FIGHTING
New York, Jun 1 2013 9:00AM
With fighting raging in Qusayr, western Syria, Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today called for the protection of civilians and urged that
trapped residents be allowed to flee the city.

His spokesperson <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp">said Mr.
Ban is "following with the gravest concern" the situation in Qusayr,
where fighting has intensified in recent days.

In a statement attributable to his spokesperson, Mr. Ban reminded the
Government of its responsibility to protect civilians who come under
its control, including from the threat of militias. He also called on
the warring parties to allow trapped civilians to flee.

"As preparations for an international conference on Syria intensify,
he reminds all parties to the conflict that the eyes of the world are
upon them, and that they will be held accountable for any acts of
atrocity carried out against the civilian population of Qusayr," the
statement continued.

Hundreds of families have fled the city in recent weeks. The Office of
the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) said at least 700
families -- or some 3,500 people -- have arrived to Hasiya, a small
nearby town with a population of 16,000.

Since March 2011, fighting between the Syrian Government and
opposition forces seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad has killed
more than 70,000 people, and left 6.8 million people in need. In
addition, the UN estimates that some 1.5 million Syrians have fled
their country to escape conflict.
