During the daily press briefing Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General, said that the UN wants to see an end to the military operation in Afrin.

Dujarric pointed out that the more fighting there is, the less access UN has to the people who need help.

“Every day that there is more fighting there is more suffering. Every day that there's more fighting there is a greater risk for a confrontation between various parties and various powerful parties that are involved in this conflict” Dujarric said.
