Activist groups monitoring the situation in Syria say there have been no civilian deaths recorded since the ceasefire came into effect on Monday 12/9.


The predominant international focus at the moment is sending much-needed aid to besieged areas.

Some trucks have crossed into Syria from Turkey, with one delivering food and children's toys to the border city of Jarablus.

But the United Nations says its trucks, scheduled to deliver supplies to the devastated city of Aleppo, have been unable to enter Syria.

UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon says disagreements between warring sides and safety concerns are causing the delays.
