The United Nations has expressed concern over the "unacceptable conditions" set by the Syrian government for allowing aid to flow through the Bab al-Hawa crossing to rebel-held areas in Northwest Syria. The delivery of humanitarian aid has been stalled since Monday when a UN deal expired. The Syrian authorities have stated that the UN should not communicate with entities designated as 'terrorist' and that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) should supervise aid distribution. The UN says over four million people in northwest Syria are in need of essential supplies.
