Russia says it will support a 48-hour ceasefire in Aleppo, a move the UN Syria envoy says will allow aid to reach besieged areas soon, as long as all sides respect the temporary truce.
UN Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura has long called for a 48-hour halt in fighting each week to allow aid delivery and medical evacuations from both rebel-held eastern and government-controlled western Aleppo.
He welcomed the Russian defence ministry announcement and said the UN humanitarian team "is now set to mobilise itself to respond to this challenge." "Our plan is to collectively work out the operational details, and be ready for delivery as soon as possible," de Mistura's office said in a statement.
