Syria has extended permission for the United Nations to use two additional border crossings for post-earthquake aid for three more months, a Syrian official has said.
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,” Bassam Sabbagh, Syria’s UN ambassador, said in a tweet.
