UN Security Council extends aid thru #BabAlHawa crossing from #Turkey for 4m civilians in NW #Syria

Russia backs off veto amid maneuvers w Turkey about 1) #UkraineWar; 2) Possible Turkish attack on #Kurds in NE Syria; 3) Possible Turkish normalization w #Assad regime

The UN Security Council adopted a renewed #Crossborder Resolution, allowing for humanitarian aid to enter into northwestern Syria through one border crossing at #BabAlHawa, connecting the area to Turkey.

The resolution is essential for the survival of millions of Syrians.🇩🇪 as a top donor continues to help people in northwestern #Syria - with food and shelter. But it is deplorable and harmful for the people in need that the permission due to Russia only covers 6 months.

.#Russland macht die Not von Millionen von Syrer*innen zum Spielball zynischer Machtpolitik. Dass #HumanitäreHilfe & lebensnotwendige Lieferungen über den Grenzübergang #BabalHawa nur für 6 Monate gestattet werden, verschwendet nicht nur Ressourcen sondern fordert auch Leben.
