Ban: Situation in Syria close to hell on earth
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon described the conditions in Syria as hellish, urging the international community to foster political dialogue to end the conflict, as about 70 nations met to pledge financial support to Syria, Sowetan Live reported.

"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.
