Russia on Thursday failed in a second U.N. Security Council bid to cut aid access to Syria from Turkey, diplomats said, and the council will now vote on a last-ditch attempt to extend approval for cross-border aid deliveries before it expires on Friday.

“The U.N. cross-border operation is a lifeline for millions of people in northwest Syria who we cannot reach by other means,” U.N. aid chief Mark Lowcock told Reuters. “Failure to extend it would trigger an increase in the scale of suffering unseen in nine years of conflict.” On Tuesday, Russia and China vetoed an attempt to extend for a year the approval of the Turkish border crossings. The remaining 13 members voted in favor of the resolution, drafted by Germany and Belgium.

So now the council will vote on the compromise by Germany and Belgium. During the coronavirus pandemic, the council has been operating virtually and members have 24 hours to vote.

Aid will never reach suffering civilians but will be appropriated by Turkish backed jihadis who hold them hostage. US/West supported FSA jihadis all along, who will trust them now? Simplest way to stop the suffering, get Turkey/HTS out of Syria. But no, blaming Russia is easier.

“Humanitarian Aid” for ISIS and co.. Stop spreading fake propaganda and FakeNews without your sanctions nobody would ask for help Hypocrisy

It's anti-human to block humanitarian aid.

What even IS this picture? Some random boy carrying too much stuff and some guy with his jeans having the strangest wedgie ever conceived? Who does this?

What happen if they can't agree to close them but can't agree to extend them?

Just desserts considering they are partially responsible for the 200,000+ deaths in that country.

Wow
