Regardless of the national sovereignty and security considerations, the UN envoy Staffan de Mistura called on the Damascus government to let life-saving aid into the country “immediately” to take advantage of a truce which he said was holding “by and large.”

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

It is worth noting that the terrorist groups and the states which support them have always utilized such humanitarian events to smuggle weaponry and military equipment.

Syria Foreign Ministry issued on Tuesday a statement which asserts its rejection to allow any humanitarian aid, especially provided by the Turkish regime, to enter Aleppo without coordination with the Syrian government.
