国际社会承认未能在2023年2月7日毁灭性地震发生后立即在叙利亚西北部拯救生命，这已经是旧闻。然而，为什么的问题仍然存在争议，并与反应的政治化有关。1叙利亚政府没有请求及时的国际援助，却成功地制造了一种流行的说法，即不适当的反应是由于国际制裁，尽管人道主义援助不在此列。2叙利亚议会等了4天才宣布灾难，就在美国财政部宣布地震援助交易完全豁免制裁180天后不久。3尽管联合国秘书长可以启动联合国中央应急基金和联合国灾害评估协调机制，但在叙利亚西北部反对派控制的地区，联合国和其他国际行为体将被困在废墟下的人们留给白色头盔和痛苦的家庭进行救援。联合国已经商定了叙利亚西北部的人道主义响应，依赖于土耳其的人道主义中心，也被地震严重破坏。联合国发言人表示，补给线被摧毁，影响了跨境反应。然而，道路迅速修复，使土耳其当局能够归还在土耳其被杀害的叙利亚人的尸体，但不提供救援，恢复或埋葬的支持。
The admitted failure of the international community to save lives in northwest Syria in the immediate aftermath of the devastating earthquakes on Feb 7, 2023, is already old news. The question of why, however, remains contested and related to politicisation of the response. 1 The Syrian Government did not request timely international assistance, but successfully initiated the prevailing narrative that inade quate response was due to inter national sanctions, despite humani tarian aid being exempt. 2 The Syrian parliament waited 4 days to declare a disaster, shortly after the US Treasury announced earthquake aid transactions were fully exempt from sanctions for 180 days. 3 Although the UN Secretary-General could activate the UN Central Emergency Response Fund and the UN Disaster Assessment Coordination Mechanism, in opposition-controlled areas of northwest Syria, the UN and other international actors left people trapped under the rubble to be rescued by The White Helmets and anguished families.The UN already has an agreed humanitarian response for northwest Syria, dependent on the Humanitarian Hub in Türkiye, which was also severely damaged by the earthquakes. UN spokespeople indicated that supply lines were destroyed, affecting crossborder response. However, roads were rapidly repaired, enabling Turkish authorities to return the bodies of Syrian people killed in Türkiye, but not to provide support for rescue, recovery, or burial.
