UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A Russian proposal to open four border crossings into Syria for aid deliveries from Turkey, Iraq and Jordan "is not good enough" and needs more work to be included in a draft U.N. Security Council resolution, Australia's U.N. envoy said on Thursday.

Veto-wielding council members - the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia - have been negotiating a humanitarian resolution drafted by Australia, Luxembourg and Jordan to boost aid assistance in war-torn Syria to millions of people in need.
