Let aid in ‘immediately,’ UN envoy implores Syrian gov’t

The UN Syria envoy calls on the Damascus government to let life-saving aid into the country “immediately” to take advantage of a truce, which he says was holding “by and large.”

Staffan de Mistura says that Damascus had promised to send authorization letters clearing large-scale humanitarian convoys to deploy but that those permits had “not been received.”

“This is something that is required to happen immediately,” de Mistura tells reporters.
