Nikki Haley US Ambassador To The United Nations Slams The UN Over Syrian Ceasefire.

The US ambassador to the UN has lambasted the organization over a failed ceasefire in Syria. She accused the Damascus government and its ally Russia of prolonging civilian suffering in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta.

The US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley (pictured above) told the UN Security Council in New York on Tuesday that "[today] should be a day of shame" for the organization after its 30-day ceasefire elapsed amid ongoing fighting in war-torn Syria.
"History will not be kind when it judges the effectiveness of this council in relieving the suffering of the Syrian people," Haley said, calling for the council to pass a new resolution expressing outrage over the failure to heed the call for a halt to the fighting.
"After years of enduring siege and starvation, residents are surrendering Eastern Ghouta," she went on, referring to the Damascus suburb that government forces have almost fully recaptured after a bitter month-long offensive.
