The UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said that no aid convoys had reached besieged areas of Syria for the past month, and that he had suspended a humanitarian task force until next week as a signal to major powers.
"Not one single convoy in one month has reached any of the humanitarian besieged areas," de Mistura said.
"I insist, on behalf of the Secretary General: to have a 48-hour pause in Aleppo, to start with, would require some heavy lifting not only by the two co-chairs (Russia and the United States) but also those who have influence on the ground," Reuters cited de Mistura as saying.
