The UN Children's Fund has called for more humanitarian access to Syria for the protection of children in the war-torn country.

Briefing the Security Council, UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore said UNICEF and its partners need regular access to northwest Syria to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance.

She called on the Security Council to renew the authorization for cross-border assistance and to spare no effort to reach an agreement on accessing children through cross-line operations.

UNICEF Executive Director called on all parties to immediately stop attacks on children, hospitals, schools and other vital civilian infrastructure like water plants.

She asked the Security Council to support UNICEF's call for the safe, voluntary and dignified release, repatriation and reintegration of children in the northeast.
