Cease-fire to allow access for aid

UN chief calls for Syria truce to be 'immediately implemented'

The 30-day cease-fire recently adopted by the United Nations Security Council may not end the fighting in Syria, but will allow access for urgent humanitarian aid to the war-torn country, analysts said.

The Security Council on Saturday unanimously adopted a resolution demanding a ceasefire of at least 30 days across Syria that would allow humanitarian access and urgent medical evacuations.
