Eastern Aleppo aid stuck in Turkey

Two 20-truck aid convoys destined for eastern Aleppo with enough supplies to feed 185,000 people for a month are still stuck in Turkey, a UN spokesman said on Monday, hours after a cease-fire in Syria expired. The United Nations has said it does not have sufficient security guarantees from all sides in the conflict, now in its sixth year, to be able to deliver to eastern Aleppo, which is held by rebels. The seven-day cease-fire declared by the Syrian army expired at midnight with no announcement of its extension.
