UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council has adopted five resolutions linked to Syria's three-year civil war, while Russia and China have blocked another three attempts at action by the 15-member body.

The fifth resolution, adopted on Saturday, aims to boost humanitarian access in Syria. It threatens to take "further steps" in the case of non-compliance, demands cross-border aid access and condemns rights abuses by the Syrian government and opposition armed groups.
