The airports operate around the clock and readiness has been raised within the emergency team that was formed to facilitate the work of airplanes, Mansour pointed out in an exclusive statement to Sputnik, noting that the planes coming to Syria to provide assistance to those affected by the earthquake are the ones to choose the airport.

The SCAA Director General revealed that the countries that have started sending aid planes to Syria so far are: UAE, Russia, Iran, India, Pakistan, Armenia, Algeria, Iraq, Oman, Egypt, Venezuela, Jordan, Libya, and Tunisia; more than 30 flights have arrived in Syria over the past three days, he added.

The death toll of the devastating earthquake that hit Syria has reached more than 3,162, and the search and rescue efforts are still ongoing in search of survivors.

Earlier today, the Spokesperson for Near and Middle East International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Imene Trabelsi, called on "the world to reconsider its approach to the humanitarian crisis in Syria," pointing out to "the crippling effect of sanctions and their impact on Syrian citizens."

Today, Syrians do not only need a box of food or wound dressing materials, they need water, electricity, rehabilitation, and roads, Trabelsi noted.
