The United States House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously passes Resolution 520, which calls for an end to attacks on Syrian civilians and expanded humanitarian access. The resolution also praises the Syrian American community for their medical relief efforts: [M]any members of the Syrian-American community, especially medical professionals, have generously donated their time and money, while taking great personal risk, in heroic efforts to reach those in need inside Syria with humanitarian assistance. The resolution also calls on all parties in the conflict to improve their facilitation and support for the Syrian-American community, especially medical professionals, as they work to aid the Syrian people with all forms of humanitarian assistance. Note: The Syrian American Medical Society is a non-sectarian, non-political humanitarian aid organization. As such, we do not endorse all of the language in HR 520.
