UN suspends Syria aid convoys after deadly strike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Nations suspends all humanitarian convoys in Syria following a deadly air strike on aid trucks, as fighting intensified after the regime declared an end to a week-long truce.
Both Syria and Russia denied they were behind the raid on the convoy near the northern city Aleppo, which the Red Cross said killed “around 20 civilians” including an employee of the Syrian Red Crescent.
Air raids and shelling meanwhile pounded key battlefronts across the country — dimming hopes that the fraught ceasefire brokered by Moscow and Washington could be revived.
