UN Security Council adopts a resolution extending a system for cross-border aid to Syria until January 10, 2023
Britain, France and the United States abstained from the vote, marking their disagreement with the shorter duration.
The measure received votes in support from 12 of the 15 members, including Russia, China, and the Security Council's 10 non-permanent members. Ireland and Norway, which had sponsored the vetoed one year-long extension resolution, circulated a new draft on Monday that provides for a six-month extension of deliveries through the Bab al Hawa crossing until January 10, 2023.
