Egypt, through contributions from the government and civil society organizations, is ready to help all efforts to rescue the Syrian people, particularly in refugee camps in neighboring states, Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr has said.
An urgent Arab action is needed to save the Syrian people, Amr said in a statement at the extraordinary ministerial meeting of the Arab League Council in Doha.
He described the humanitarian situation there as "catastrophic". Amr stressed that Egypt would lead any Arab action to help the Syrians.
The UN Security Council has failed to issue any viable resolution on the Syrian crisis, the Egyptian foreign minister said, noting that the UN mission there does not go beyond counting of victims.
