A United Nations-backed plan was formed to help destroyed areas of Syria. However, recent events may have ruined any chance of these destitute people receiving aid. One of the main issues is that the Syrian government has made road convoys inaccessible to the Syrian people. Therefore, if they are willing to do that - air drops made by the United States and Russia will also encounter similar obstacles from the Syrian government. Additionally, the airways in Syria are very busy currently, with United States and Russian planes flying over, all with different objectives. Even the people of Syria are losing hope. In the article, a resident is quoted saying that nothing will happen; they are sure of it. This is extremely discouraging to hear. Unfortunately, the Syrian government doesn't seem to budge on these road convoys, using the people's starvation as a tool of war. Hopefully, the international community can come together for some sort of peace initiative.
