UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Sponsors of a U.N. resolution that would authorize cross-border delivery of humanitarian aid to Syrians in desperate need of food and medicine finalized the text ahead of a Security Council vote expected on Monday.
The final draft, obtained Friday by The Associated Press, would authorize U.N. agencies and aid organizations that assist them to use routes across conflict lines and four border crossings — two in Turkey, one in Iraq and one in Jordan — for 180 days in addition to those already in use to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
