Syria earthquake: The head of the EU delegation Dan Stoenescu said that we have constantly been providing aid for over a decade and we are doing so much more even during the earthquake crisis.

The European Union's envoy to Syria said early on Sunday that it was not fair to accuse the group of failing to provide enough help to Syrians following the devastating earthquake that hit swathes of Syria and Turkey last week.
