Jean-Marc Hérault: We must do everything to stop the slaughter "in Aleppo


French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Hérault called on the international community to make every effort to stop the slaughter in Syria resumed after the expiry of the ceasefire in Aleppo, during his visit to the city Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey.

"We are 150 miles, perhaps not far from Aleppo. And this time, the bombings, artillery fire continued to destroy the city and the population of Aleppo slaughtered," said Hérault after arriving in Gaziantep, where expected to visit refugee camp.

"And if we want the Syrian refugees to be able one day to return to their country, then you must do everything to stop this massacre and to resume the negotiating process to reach a political agreement. We can not reach a deal in bombing ", stressed the minister. "Today, the imperative remains the cessation of the bombing and humanitarian access. The solution of total war is not a solution."

Clashes resumed in Aleppo between government forces and the rebels, after the expiry of the three-day "humanitarian" ceasefire declared by Russia, which is not allowed to remove the wounded from besieged areas.
