is it possible for one crossing here to work more effectively than 2 crossings. yes thank you thank you for having me. so it seems likely right now that the pen holders are going to submit a new draft with on the bubble a lot and so if the seller is creoles basically there's a risk that we see something similar to what happened back in january when russia asked to close at the time crossing into north east syria and based on the experience you're not of the cross climb what we call the cross line aid which is aid coming from damascus to north east. the experience hasn't been very effective and damascus didn't give them 3 later spots to its promise to a city that aids into a mode now with the crossing of the center. definitely as you mentioned $1300000.00 people are going to be effected there's still the option of going you know there's the terror the border with turkey but any aid that will come into northern ireland will well have to be it will bilateral means so there's no the umbrella of the you and the more is there a strategic issue here with only having one

because they were asking for 2 crossing borders border crossings one turkey of course 12 and the 2nd one to a little for 6 months but because due to the russian and chinese vetoes the compromise was for one. border. directly for one year instead of 6 months but they may try it here is the one district or one maybe will not give sufficient supplies for the. province essentially the projection on their part is people are going to suffer so what else will this decision mean for people on the ground is that essentially it. yes of course this will unfortunately this kind of wars will affect directly and the c.b.d. ends up being the highest prices especially with that with the announcement of the 1st cabinet 19. according to some opposition sources talking about the syrian observatory for human rights told me this morning that 11 point across it will not be sufficient to supply 3000000. and the us will control this but it's turkey or the us and specials that there is too many of that of main sufficient supplies and therefore now this may very well be a dynamic situation let's see if the se

border crossings to now only having one and this latest closure of one of the major crossings or in into the area around northern aleppo leaves $1300000.00 people without the support of the united nations and as the u.n. has warned the council this will cost syrian lives as far as the cost of syrian lives is concerned does it also mean that that northern aleppo region is more vulnerable not less vulnerable despite what the russians have been saying especially when they kind of play into that agenda on the part of the regime in damascus who've been saying that all the aid should go through the syrian capital as a 1st stop. in a perfect world it would all be coming from damascus that is the responsibility of the syrian government is to meet the humanitarian needs of its people but we have not seen damascus willing to do that throughout the 9 years of this conflict and the people that are in this area in northern aleppo it's one of the highest concentrations of displaced people it's over 60 percent so these are people that have been displaced multiple times over the course of the last 9 yea
