UN chief calls for civilian protection in Douma

United Nation, Apr 9 (UNI) Following a period of relative calm in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed deep concern over renewed violence in Douma, particularly the alarming allegations that chemical weapons may have been used against civilians.
A statement from UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric on Sunday said the Secretary-General called on all parties to cease fighting and restore the calm that had been in place and adhere fully to Security Council resolution 2401, adopted in February and which called for a ceasefire across Syria.
While the UN is not in a position to verify these reports, his spokesperson said “the Secretary-General notes that any use of chemical weapons, if confirmed, is abhorrent, and requires a thorough investigation.”
