UN Security Council agrees to extend a vital system for cross-border UN aid from Türkiye to war-ravaged Syria by six months, the length of time wanted by Russia, diplomats say
More than 4,600 aid trucks, carrying mostly food, have crossed Bab al Hawa this year, helping some 2.4 million people, according to UN.
The aid delivery mechanism across Türkiye's border into Syria at the Bab al Hawa crossing is the only way United Nations assistance can reach civilians without navigating areas controlled by Syrian regime forces.The agreement breaks an impasse that had threatened to derail the life-saving supplies for the more than 2.4 million people in the northwestern Idlib region of Syria.
The new Irish-Norwegian text provides for renewal in January 2023 for another six months, subject to the adoption of a new resolution. The mechanism has been extended for only six months in the past, although this short period makes it difficult to plan delivery, aid workers say.
