More than 35,000 people have died in both countries so far in the devastating earthquake near the Syrian border in southern Turkey.
In the northwestern part of Syria, which has been severely damaged, there has been only one support route from neighboring Turkey until now, but Syrian President Assad has announced that he will accept increasing routes.
More than 35,000 people have been killed in Turkey and Syria after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkey on Saturday and continued to tremble.
Of these, northwestern Syria is an area controlled by rebel forces, and the movement of people and goods from the Assad regime is restricted.
The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution to stipulate a "support route" for transporting food and other items from neighboring Turkey, but currently it is limited to one location.
Under-Secretary-General Griffiths, who is in charge of humanitarian issues at the United Nations, visited Damascus, the capital of Syria, to meet with President Assad on the 13th and attend an emergency meeting of the Security Council online to report on the results.
During the meeting, President Assad announced that he would increase the number of "support routes" by two for three months over the northwestern part of Syria that was damaged by the major earthquake, and that he would accept support through UN agencies.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement that "more aid will be delivered sooner".
In the future, the focus will be on whether sufficient support will be delivered.
