Humanitarian Aid Reaches Syria After Un Resolution

Nine aid trucks crossed the Turkish border into Syria, its first humanitarian aid convoy without needing government approval since UN Security Council has adopted a resolution on July 14.



"Nine trucks crossed at Bab Al-Salam into Syria this morning," said Amanda Pitt from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.



She said that the trucks were carrying food, water, medical equipment and shelter materials.



The UN Security Council adopted a resolution more than a week ago to allow humanitarian supplies across the border without Syrian government permission.
