GENEVA 3rd May 2016 (WAM) -- Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir warned of the danger of the situation in Syria pointing out that unless there was a resumption of the ceasefire and the political process the situation will deteriorate further and there will be chaos and the killing and destruction will continue with the resulting risks to Syria and the region.

The Saudi Foreign Minister condemned the violations committed by the Syrian regime forces and its allies in contravention of international law and UN Security Council Resolution No. 2254 and the indiscriminate shelling of civilian hospitals and the killing of innocent people which is rejected by the international community.
