NEW YORK — HH Prince Zeid Bin Raad, Jordan’s permanent representative to the UN, on Saturday said the suffering of the Syrian people and the consequences of the crisis on neighbouring countries have prompted the Security Council to adopt a resolution to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into Syria.

In a press statement following a UN Security Council meeting on Syria, Prince Zeid described the situation in Syria as very critical and painful, adding that the council will decide on what should be done should the adopted resolution go unimplemented.

The resolution was drafted by Jordan, Australia and Luxemburg and was adopted by an overwhelming majority.

In remarks to Jordan Television, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said the adoption of the resolution is a major achievement for Jordanian diplomacy, commending the efforts of the Kingdom’s mission at the UN.
