Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma al-Assad visited this morning the earthquake survivors at Aleppo University Hospital.

The Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic published pictures showing al-Assad and his wife as they inspected the condition of the survivors inside the hospital.

Al-Assad said during his tour, "It is natural for the West to politicize the situation. As for human feelings [in the West], they do not exist, neither now nor did they in the past," adding that the Syrian authorities "will put all possibilities to rebuild the affected areas and help the afflicted in them."

Al-Assad also met with the head of the Iraqi relief delegation and Chief of Staff of the Popular Mobilization Authority (PMF), Abdul-Aziz al-Muhammadawi (Abu Fadak), while inspecting the damage caused by the earthquake in the city of Aleppo.

During the meeting, Al-Muhammadawi offered his condolences to the President and the Syrian people and expressed solidarity with Iraq's neighboring nation.

In his turn, al-Assad said to al-Muhammadawi: "You sacrificed blood with us, so it is not surprising that you provide us with aid."

Likewise, the Popular Mobilization Forces' official, Abu Ali al-Kufi, told Al Mayadeen that "the difficult circumstances that the Syrian people are going through prompted the PMF to come to Syria." 

He added, "The PMF endured the threats it received to target its convoys in order to help the Syrian people."
