Aid for opposition-held areas of Syria is a divisive topic in the UN Security Council, with the ever-present threat of a Russian veto.
Ednews informs via AlJazeera that the United Nations Security Council will vote once again on Monday to renew permission for the UN to deliver humanitarian aid to northwest Syria from a crossing on the border with Turkey.
For nearly a decade, the UN has used this fragile cross-border mechanism to access civilians in opposition-held parts of northern Syria. But now there is growing concern that Russia will use its veto at the Security Council to end it.
