U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television channel he was ** longer in direct communication with Assad after months of the Syrian president "**t keeping his promises." Last month, Ban said **ne of the warring parties in Syria were meeting U.N. demands for aid access and demanded the Security Council take action on violations of international law. In Sunday's interview, he said a February Security Council resolution demanding rapid, safe and unhindered aid access had "**t helped much" and that there were still 3 million people in areas the U.N. could **t reach and deliver humanitarian aid to. "It's **t that we are in shortage of something to deliver, it's just because of bureaucratic resistance by the Syrian government," he said.
