UN humanitarian aid trucks are queuing among olive trees on the road linking Turkey’s Hatay province with northwestern Syria, as they wait to enter the Bab al-Hawa crossing, which is the last crossing allowing UN aid to flow into Idlib, Syria’s last stronghold of extremist organizations.
The Bab al-Hawa crossing may close on July 10 when the UN resolution on cross-border aid into Syria expires, which may exacerbate the suffering of more than 4 million people living in the displacement camps in northwest Syria.
