A UN-brokered agreement that allows for the delivery of aid overland from Türkiye into Syria expires after the United Nations Security Council fails to hold a vote to reauthorise it
Negotiations continued all day at the UN on Monday as officials scrambled to reach a last-minute deal but ultimately failed.
"We are still working very, very hard to find common ground with one and one goal only in mind: it's the humanitarian imperative, the needs on the ground," Swiss ambassador Pascale Baeriswyl said. But Russia, which in July 2022 vetoed a one-year extension, was again insisting it would only agree to another six-month deal, according to the same sources.UN humanitarian affairs chief Martin Griffiths had last week again called for the opening of more crossing points, for at least 12 months.
