According to a Syrian official quoted by Azernews in Al Arabiya, Syria has given the UN three further months' permission to utilise two additional border crossings for post-earthquake supplies.
Syria "has decided to extend the permission it granted to the UN and its specialised agencies to use the two border crossings of Bab Alsalama and al-Ra'i for an additional period of three months ending on 13 August," Syria's UN ambassador Bassam Sabbagh wrote in a tweet.
"This decision is based on Syria's keenness on enhancing stability and improving the living and humanitarian situation of all Syrians, and comes within its efforts to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to all those in need in all of Syria," he continued.
