"The situation in Syria is as close to hell as we are likely to find on this earth," Ban told a donors’ conference in London on Thursday, a day after peace talks on Syria in Geneva were halted by his mediator
"All sides in this conflict are committing human rights abuses of a shocking scale and depravity," Ban said earlier at the UN co-hosted "Supporting Syria and the Region" event, Tasnim News Agency reported.
"There is no military solution," Ban said. "Only political dialogue - inclusive political dialogue - will rescue the Syrian people from their intolerable suffering."
British Prime Minister David Cameron urged a "new approach" to helping millions of people caught up in the conflict, focussing on education, and job creation to help Syrians rebuild their lives in the region, DPA said.
