  2. “There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. As this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of February, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of Malta to the members of the Council and the Council’s secretariat for all the support they have given us. It has indeed been a busy month, and one in which we rallied to arrive at a consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone and without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, including the technical support team and the conference service officers, interpreters, verbatim reporters and security staff.”

  3. “In conclusion, Malta fully supports the work of Special Envoy Pedersen and his step-for-step initiative, and we call on Damascus to engage faithfully with his good offices. The earthquake that occurred on 6 February in Syria and Türkiye presents a tragic opportunity to refocus and redouble our efforts towards ensuring a just and lasting peace for the people of Syria. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

  4. “Malta was dismayed to hear reports of Government shelling in the north-west in the aftermath of the earthquake and calls again for a nationwide ceasefire throughout Syria. We urge the reconvening of the Constitutional Committee in Geneva and express our support for that Syrian-owned and Syrian-led process under the auspices of the United Nations. We reiterate that the return of Syrian refugees and internally displaced persons must be safe, legal and voluntary in accordance with the criteria set out by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. We call once again for the transparent and verifiable release of all those arbitrarily detained in Syria, as well as for the provision of information on the whereabouts and the fate of the thousands still missing.”

  5. “However, we underscore the continued importance of resolution 2672 (2023) and the additional border crossings, the scale and scope of which cannot be matched by cross-line operations at this time. This crisis is yet another devastating blow to the population of Syria. The earthquake has magnified and exacerbated humanitarian suffering in Syria, yet we must not forget that it is far from being its cause. Twelve years of conflict and countless crimes committed by the Syrian Government and parties to the conflict have inflicted untold pain and suffering upon millions. Malta reiterates that, even in the face of the latest tragedy, we must remain steadfast in our calls for progress on the political track, in line with resolution 2254 (2015).”

  6. “Nothing less than immediate and sustained humanitarian assistance is what is needed now to save lives and avoid the worst of the secondary impacts of the earthquake. We remain supportive of the principled delivery of humanitarian aid to all those in need through the most effective and direct modalities. In that regard, Malta welcomes the opening of the border crossings at Bab Al-Salam and Al-Rai. We call for greater support for those operations and for Member States to assist in unlocking the supply chain challenges the United Nations is facing, thereby allowing the aid operation to scale up in size and speed to rapidly meet the needs of the most vulnerable. Malta expresses our hope that cross-line operations can also be scaled up in the days ahead.”

  7. “Prior to this most recent catastrophe, some 15.3 million Syrians were already in need of emergency humanitarian assistance. Now more than ever, we must work collectively to address the dual humanitarian crisis. The impact of the disaster on children has been devastating. We have heard of 1,300 schools or temporary learning facilities in Syria being damaged or destroyed, with educational support needed for some 6.4 million children. Unaccompanied and separated children are in urgent need of protection and appropriate care arrangements while family tracing and case management take place. Families require emergency psychosocial support to help them recover from the horrors they have lived through. Women and girls deserve protection and a gender-sensitive humanitarian response.”

  8. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Malta. Let me begin by thanking our briefers — Under- Secretary-General Griffiths, Special Envoy Pedersen and the Response Director for Save the Children, Ms. Muhrez — for their remarks to the Security Council today. Malta is grateful for their briefings and collective call to action as we face the new emergency in Syria. As we heard this morning, the acute impact of the earthquake is still being felt throughout Syria. Right across the country, and nowhere more than in the north-west, the scale of the crisis exceeds what was unimaginable less than one month ago. Water and sanitation, shelter, fuel, food and protection are now among the most immediate needs of the population.”
