In a resolution adopted unanimously here, the 15-nation Security Council expressed "grave alarm at the significant and rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria" and deplored the fact that its previous demands "have **t been heeded by the Syrian parties to the conflict", Xinhua reported. The Security Council authorised the UN humanitarian agencies and their implementing partners to use routes across conflict lines and four additional border crossings "to ensure that humanitarian assistance, including medical and surgical supplies, reaches people in need throughout Syria through the most direct routes, with **tification to the Syrian authorities", the resolution said. The four border crossings include Al-Ramtha on the Syrian border with Jordan, Al Yarubiyah on the Iraq border, and Bab al- Salam and Bab al-Hawa from Turkey.
