The U.N. Security Council on Friday renewed a six-year-long cross-border operation delivering aid to millions of Syrian civilians but the number of crossings and length of authorization were halved to avoid a Russian veto.
The authorization was due to expire at midnight on Friday if the Security Council did not reach a last-minute deal.
