This is his first trip to areas outside Damascus’s control since a devastating quake last month. Tedros was the highest-ranking United Nations official to visit the rebel-held zones since the February 6 quake. He entered from neighboring Turkey via the Bab al-Hawa crossing and visited several hospitals and a shelter for those displaced, the correspondent said.
