U.S. and allies increase pressure on Russia to keep humanitarian aid route into Syria open Andrea Mitchell © Provided by NBC News
WASHINGTON The U.S. and its allies on Wednesday ramped up the pressure on Russia to allow the continued operation of a critical humanitarian aid route into Syria weeks ahead of a critical deadline.
Bab al-Hawa, the crossing between Turkey and Syria that is the last authorized humanitarian corridor, is at risk of closing because Russia has threatened to veto an extension of a U.N. Security Council resolution that requires it to stay open.
At a meeting of the council on Wednesday, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, speaking by teleconference from Brussels, said the humanitarian situation in Syria is worse than any time since the conflict began, affecting 13.4 million people.
