With the exception of Al-Awared Crossing … the ban on Sheikh Maksoud and Ashrafieh crossings was lifted

Those responsible for the crossings of the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maksoud and Ashrafieh in Aleppo extended the period of opening the crossings at the entrances to the two districts until twelve o’clock in the evening every day.

The crossings remained open until seven o’clock in the evening only.

Al- Awared crossing is still closed to traffic until today, despite requests to open it.

This crossing links al Sheikh Maksoud neighborhood (Talaat Al-Awared) with the northern ring line of Aleppo.

Aso News Network correspondent in Aleppo said that opening the road to sorties would reduce traffic congestion and reduce pressure on other crossings in al Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud, especially in light of the crowded neighborhoods.
Many residents see the opening of Awared crossing as a benefit to the residents and a shortcut to the road.

Residents faced some difficulties in leaving the neighborhood during the curfew period, as Al-Jazeera crossing only allowed employees to leave, while satisfactory cases required approval.

With the opening of the crossings period extended until twelve o’clock in the evening every day, emergency first aid cases were allowed to go to government hospitals, or births that were previously prohibited from leaving.

According to “Rustum Kobo”, told the Aso News Network, “The closure of Awared road and the failure to open it was caused by the Syrian government, which allowed the opening of a number of crossings only.”

Adding, that the closure of the border crossing is not a good decision and we hope to open it as soon as possible.
