ANKARA, 16 June 2022, (TON): The foreign ministers of Ireland, Norway and Turkey say aid deliveries from Turkey to rebel-held northwest Syria must continue, warning of a humanitarian crisis if the only remaining border gate is closed.
Russia’s deputy UN ambassador has told “the UN Security Council that Moscow sees no reason to continue humanitarian aid deliveries through the Bab Al-Hawa border gate.”
He accused the West and the United Nations of insufficient efforts to deliver such aid from Damascus, the Syrian capital. The UN Security Council is scheduled to vote July 10 on whether to continue authorizing cross-border aid from Turkey.
Ireland and Norway, two non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, have been working together to keep the Bab Al-Hawa crossing open.
Their foreign ministers visited the border area before holding talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara.
