France demands halt to bombings of Syrian civilians

'Necessary for Syria and Russia to stop their military operations against civilian populations', says French Foreign Minister.

Paris: French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius on Monday called on the Syrian regime to end the siege of rebel-held Madaya and said a halt to air strikes by the regime and its Russian ally was an "absolute necessity".

It is an "absolute necessity for Syria and Russia to stop their military operations against civilian populations, and in particular that the ordeal facing Madaya and all the besieged Syrian villages come to an end," Fabius told journalists during his New Year's greeting.
