U.N. Report Warns of Sexual Exploitation by Aid Workers in Syria

HeadlineFeb 28, 2018

In more news from Syria, a recent report by the United Nations Population Fund warns of widespread reports of sexual exploitation by aid workers in Syria, including meals being traded in exchange for sex. And an unreleased United Nations report is claiming that North Korea shipped materials to the Syrian government in recent years, which could have been used to produce chemical weapons. The report, which was viewed by The New York Times, does not claim North Korea is currently providing supplies to the Syrian government. The United Nations and human rights groups have repeatedly accused the Syrian government of carrying out chemical weapons attacks against civilians, a claim which the Syrian government denies.
