In a statement on Thursday, he called the parties to comply with international humanitarian laws to allow safe access of humanitarian aid workers.
 
Mr Mabeck said every party involved in the fighting has a fundamental duty to protect humanitarian staff and health facilities to enable ICRC continue delivering services.
