Speaking to reporters in Geneva on Tuesday, UN humanitarian aid spokesman Jens Laerke said all convoy movements in Syria will be halted for the time being pending further assessment of the security situation.

Despite the UN’s call for a halt of attacks, airstrikes on humanitarian aid convoys near Aleppo continued, hindering humanitarian aid delivery to Syrian citizens.
