UN official: Airstrikes on NW Syria border area worrying


In a statement Monday, it said the strikes near the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey had put access to much needed assistance at risk. “Many of the camps are in that area, about a million people in camps around that area. The Bab al-Hawa border crossing is the main point from which international aid is brought to rebel-held parts of northwest Syria. Idlib-based journalist Salwa Abdul-Rahman said one of the strikes hit an area near the town of Sarmada, setting afire trucks used by aid workers to distribute assistance. An AP video from the area showed about a dozen trucks on fire as civil defense members sprayed them with water.
