UN Security Council: Russia vetoes Syria humanitarian aid
(Worthy News) – The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Tuesday failed to renew a vital aid delivery program for Syria, thrusting an estimated four million people in the country into an evermore dire situation as the country’s civil war grinds on in its second decade.
The original UN deal — first brokered in 2014 — that allowed for aid to be shipped overland from Turkey into rebel-held areas of Syria’s northwest Idlib Province via the Bab al-Hawa crossing, expired Monday after its last extension.
Permanent UNSC members USA, UK and France had been calling for a full one-year extension but backed a compromise put forth by Switzerland and Brazil in the face of Russian opposition to the Western plan. In the end, 13 of the Council’s 15 members voted in favor of an extension. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
