ITV News Correspondent Neil Connery reports on the life-line aid route that refugees rely on
A last minute reprieve has saved the single border crossing between Syria and Turkey, on which the precarious lives of 3.5 million displaced people depend.
Robbed of so much by the ongoing Syrian Civil War, the humanitarian aid coming into refugee camps via the route is just about all survivors there have.
It's estimated 1,000 trucks a month use the crossing under a United Nations mandate, carrying food, water, and medical and educational supplies.

The crossing was set to close on Saturday, but a deal between Russia and the US has kept it open - though only for another year.
