UNITED NATIONS, Rajab 23, 1435, May 22, 2014, SPA -- The United Nations secretary-general said the world body is poised to help get long-awaited humanitarian aid across borders into Syria even at crossings outside government control, in defiance of Damascus' insistence that all aid go through its authorities. Ban Ki-Moon's new report released Thursday points to a possible path ahead after months of frustration over the inability to get basic necessities to millions of Syrians trapped in the three-year conflict, AP reported. The report says access to humanitarian aid remains "unpredictable and woefully inadequate" and that the government of President Bashar Assad has "failed" to care for its people, and it indicates that the U.N. will move ahead on aid delivery regardless of government consent. -- SPA 00:16 LOCAL TIME 21:16 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
