3 additional months for UN aid to enter Syria through areas occupied by Turkey
The United Nations once again overlooked the urgent needs of the people in the regions of North and East Syria, and the calls from the Autonomous Administration to push for the opening of the "Tel Koçer/Al-Yarubiyah" crossing, by extending the period for delivering aid to Syria for an additional 3 months through crossings and areas occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries, subjected by conflicting international interests.
Today, the United Nations renewed the introduction of humanitarian aid across the border into Syria for an additional 3 months, through the "Bab al-Salama" and "al-Rai" crossings in the areas occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries.
Today, the United Nations has once again approved the entry of humanitarian aid across the border into Syria for an additional 3 months, through the "Bab al-Salama" and "al-Rai" crossings in areas occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries.
The previous period was scheduled to end on November 13 of this year, and with the new extension, the UN's reliance on these two border crossings to deliver aid to Syria will continue until February 5 of next year, according to what was published by the "Response Coordinators Team in Syria."
With the new UN resolution, it has overlooked the urgent needs of the people in the regions of North and East Syria, as well as the continuous demands and calls from the Autonomous Administration for Democratic Syria to push for the opening of the "Tel Koçer/Al-Yarubiyah" crossing, which has been closed since 2020.
Observers of the Syrian issue and politicians believe that the humanitarian file is being used as a means of political blackmail, as the Tel Kochar crossing was closed in 2020 by a decision from the Security Council with a Russian and Chinese veto under the pretext of not allowing aid into areas outside government control.
While they allowed the entry of these aids through the Bab al-Hawa crossing in Idlib, which is under Turkish occupation and the control of its mercenaries, Jabhet al-Nusra (classified as an international terrorist organization), and the use of the Bab al-Salama and al-Rai crossings since February 2022 in the occupied areas.
Pointing out that the double standards of the United Nations, especially in the recent extension, reveal the extent to which the UN is beholden to political interests and the contradictions of international interests, and its deviation from its security and humanitarian functions.
