Damascus, SANA- Heath Minister Nizar Yaziji discussed on Wednesday with head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Syria Marianne Gasser mechanisms of cooperation and coordination to meet the needs of the health sector in Aleppo in the light of the continued terrorist attacks on the residential neighborhoods.

Minister Yaziji added that the challenges that the health sector in Aleppo faces are increasing in light of the continued terrorist attacks that target the residential neighborhoods, noting that the ministry does its best to offer the healthy needs to locals in Aleppo.
