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.
