On Wednesday, December 14th, Mayor Anne Hidalgo gave the direction to turn off the lights in Paris' Eiffel Tower to show the city's solidarity with and support for the besieged inhabitants of Aleppo, Syria. Hidalgo posted on Twitter that the blackout was a "symbolic measure... to call out the international community again on the urgency to act." Hidalgo also met with Aleppo Mayor, Brita Hagi Hasan in Paris on December 5th, and has asked the Pope to help Syria. The Union of Medical Relief Organizations will send a medical humanitarian convoy to deliver equipment from Paris to Aleppo tomorrow.
