ALEPPO, Syria — Doctors Without Borders (MSF) recently called on the United Nations Security Council member states to renew the mechanism for the provision of humanitarian aid into Syria via the Turkish al-Yarubiyah border crossing, which is located on the opposite side of Bab al-Hawa crossing in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib. The UN resolution on cross-border aid into Syria expires July 10.
MSF said in a press release June 19, “More than 4 million people in northwest Syria will lose access to desperately needed medical and humanitarian aid if the United Nations Security Council fails to renew its mandate for cross-border aid by July 10.”
