Syria has prolonged permission for the United Nations to make use of two extra border crossings to offer support for an additional three months after the earthquake hit the nation, a Syrian official mentioned on Saturday.
Syria “has determined to increase the permission it has granted to the UN and its specialised companies to make use of the 2 border crossings of Bab Alsalama and al-Ra’i for an extra interval of three months ending on 13 August,” mentioned Bassam Sabbagh, Ambassador of Syria on the UN in a tweet.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad initially agreed to open the 2 crossings for 3 months from Feb. 13, per week after an earthquake killed greater than 50,000 folks in Turkey and Syria.
