WHO head welcomes UN resolution on cross-border assistance in Syria

He wrote about this on his Twitter.

“We welcome the decision of the UN Security Council to extend the mechanism for cross-border assistance in northwest Syria through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing point,” Gebreyesus said.

This will allow the continued provision of vital health services, including vaccinating more than 3 million people, he said.

Earlier, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution to extend the mechanism of cross-border assistance in Syria, which was jointly prepared by Russia, the United States, Ireland and Norway.

As Russian Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya stated at the UN Security Council meeting, the joint resolution of Russia and the United States is a historic moment.
