NEW YORK: The United Nations is concerned about “unacceptable conditions” set by Damascus for allowing aid to flow through its Bab Al-Hawa crossing to rebel-held areas in northwest Syria, according to a document reviewed Friday by AFP.
The delivery of humanitarian aid through the crossing has been stalled since Monday, when a 2014 UN deal expired.
UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations has not yet resumed using a shuttered border crossing to deliver aid to northwest Syria from Turkiye that Syria said it could use for another six months after UN Security Council approval of the route expired on Monday
The UN aid deliveries would have to be “in full cooperation and coordination with the Syrian Government,” Syria’s UN Ambassador Bassam Sabbagh wrote in a letter on Thursday to the Security Council.
