GENEVA: The Swiss government said on Thursday it had opened a ?humanitarian office? in Damascus aimed at improving aid distribution and at monitoring and coordinating assistance programmes on the ground.
Switzerland is thus the fist western country, excluding the European Union, to open such an office since the Syria?s devastating conflict began nearly seven years ago. ?We finally have eyes and ears in Damascus,? Manuel Bessler, the Swiss government official in charge of humanitarian aid, said in an interview on the SRF radio station.The new office, which opened a few weeks ago and currently has a single staff member, does not constitute a political or diplomatic presence for Switzerland. Instead, it aims to ?monitor more closely the dialogue to secure humanitarian access to the affected population,? a government statement said.
