Humanitarian aid deliveries expected to be allowed across Syria-Turkey border

THE delivery of humanitarian aid to north-west Syria from neighbouring Turkey was expected to get a green light to temporarily continue from the United Nations security council today.
The council’s authorisation for aid deliveries via the Bab al-Hawa crossing expired today, but two extension resolutions were due to be voted on.
A Russian resolution would continue aid deliveries for six months and a Brazil-Switzerland resolution, backed by most council members and secretary-general Antonio Guterres, would authorise a 12-month extension.
