UN and Syria compromised to reopen key aid corridor to rebel-held northwest
- The UN will deliver aid through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing from Turkey to northwest Syria for 6 months.
- Russia previously vetoed extending UN control of the crossing, but now the Syrian government will oversee aid delivery.
- The UN has concerns about conditions set by Syria, including aid coordination and avoiding designated "terrorist" groups.
- Over 4 million people in northwest Syria rely on humanitarian aid, with most coming through Bab al-Hawa.
- It's unclear how restrictions by the Syrian government will impact aid operations to opposition groups in the region.
