The Russian Defense Ministry announced Wednesday that it would halt airstrikes around the northwestern Syrian city of Aleppo for three hours each day to allow humanitarian convoys into the ravaged city.
"To guarantee total security for the convoys to Aleppo, there will be humanitarian windows established from 10 am to 01 pm local time starting tomorrow (Thursday) during which all military hostilities, aviation strikes and artillery strikes will be halted," Russian army's general staff Lieutenant General Sergei Rudskoy said.
Meanwhile, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O'Brien said a 48-hour truce was needed to meet all the humanitarian needs in the Syrian city.
