The U.S. move comes in answer to U.N. Secretary General António Guterres’s call for member countries to explore all possible avenues to get aid and personnel into the rebel-held area still reeling from civil war. But U.N.

Now only one U.N.-mandated corridor across the Turkish border remains open.
“We’re going to continue to make the case, countries around the world are going to continue to make the case,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters Thursday. “And we certainly hope that Russia and all those who would stand in the way are hearing and seeing these just heartbreaking images from Syria today.”“I would be of course very happy if the Security Council could reach a consensus to allow for more crossings to be used. “We must put people first.
