The United Nations Security Council has demanded immediate access everywhere in Syria to deliver humanitarian aid to millions of people in desperate need.

According to news24, Russia and China, strong supporters of the Syrian government, also joined the UNSC in sending the strong message.

The UNSC along with other countries conveyed President Bashar al-Assad's government that civilians caught in the three-year conflict must be helped.

The resolution doesn't threaten sanctions but it does express the council's intention to take 'further steps' if the resolution is not implemented, the report added.
