Last Friday a 15-truck convoy delivered to Syrian Arab Red Crescent warehouses desperately-needed food aid for 30,000 people, medicine for 15,000 people and essential household items for 10,000 people. This aid is part of a plan to help half a million people, both in opposition - and Government-held areas. Meanwhile UN President, Ban Ki-moon said, ‘I deeply regret to inform the Security Council that resolution 2139 (on the humanitarian access) has yet to make a meaningful difference to the lives of the millions of people in need in Syria. Therefore, I call on the Council to urgently consider what steps it will now take to secure compliance with its demands.' Emboldened by Ban's report. Australia, Luxembourg and Jordan are working on a draft resolution that would allow the delivery of food, medicine and other relief aid into Syria through border crossings with Turkey, Jordan and Iraq, without the Government's approval. Russia, which took over the Council’s presidency on 1 June, is expected to veto the draft because it violates Syria's sovereignty.
