(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) New York December 23 (QNA) - Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2258 (2015) renewing its decision in resolution 2165 (2014) to allow United Nations (UN) to deliver humanitarian aids into people in need in Syria.
According to those stipulations which were renewed until 10 January 2017 the 15-nation body decided that the United Nations humanitarian agencies and their implementing partners were authorized to use routes across conflict lines in Syria and the border crossings of Bab al-Salam Bab al-Hawa Al Yarubiyah and Al-Ramtha in addition to those already in use with notification to the Syrian authorities according to United Nations.
UN could deliver relief assistance in 2015 into besieged areas in Syria by only 3.5% health aid and 7% food aid.
