Storyline

United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric today (30 Sep) said a “board of inquiry” would be established to investigate the attack on a humanitarian convoy in Aleppo last week.

Last Monday, 31 trucks delivering lifesaving assistance a few kilometres west of Aleppo city in Urum al-Kubra came under fire. The UN said at least 18 people, including the head of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in area, were killed and the warehouse where supplies were being unloaded, as well as a nearby medical clinic, were also severely damaged.

The UN said the board of inquiry would “ascertain the facts” of the incident and report to the Secretary-General upon the completion of its work. Dujarric said, “The Secretary-General will receive the report, will take a look at the report, and then decide on what further steps need to be taken.”

Last weekend, the Security Council met to discuss the intensifying violence in and around Aleppo. Several Council members expressed their desire to investigate the attack on the convoy.
