In a statement to the press, Patrick Ventrell stated the US is calling on the international community to "make clear to the Assad regime that it must cease these attacks and immediately allow humanitarian organizations, including UN agencies and the Red Cross, safe access to evacuate the wounded and provide life-saving medical treatment and supplies."
