Residents of the besieged Palestinian camp of Yarmouk, in Damascus, Syria

There is no legal barrier to UN
cross-border operations in Syria
'For example, parties might temporarily refuse consent for reasons of "military necessity" where imminent military operations will take place on the proposed route for aid. They cannot, however, lawfully withhold consent to weaken the resistance of the enemy, cause starvation of civilians, or deny medical assistance. Where consent is withheld for these arbitrary reasons, the relief operation is lawful without consent.'
