The authorization of cross-border aid deliveries into Syria expired on Monday, and the UN Security Council failed on Tuesday to adopt either of two draft resolutions that would have renewed the mechanism.
Russia vetoed a draft resolution tabled by Brazil and Switzerland that called for a nine-month re-authorization. A Russian draft resolution, which would have renewed the mechanism for six months, failed to obtain the required number of votes for approval.
In an explanation of vote, Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said that China regrets the failure of the Security Council to reach consensus on this important matter.
