The United Nation ‘exploring all avenues’ to send aid to opposition-held parts of Syria

UN says it is “exploring all avenues” to get supplies to rebel-held northwestern Syria and has released $25m from its emergency fund to help kick-start the humanitarian response in Turkey and Syria.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the global body is preparing a convoy to cross conflict lines within Syria, as Monday’s earthquakes have damaged the road leading to the main border crossing from Turkey to northern Syria.
