The United Nations said on Tuesday it was deeply concerned about increased fighting in and around the Syrian city of Aleppo and called for humanitarian aid access and the safe and rapid evacuation of civilians, Reutersreported.
U.N. spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci told a regular U.N. briefing in Geneva that intensified hostilities between Assad terrorists and armed groups had cut 300,000 people in eastern Aleppo off from humanitarian supplies and commercial goods, and prices in the city were already rising.
Opposition fighters launched a major assault on Assad-held districts of Syria’s long-divided Aleppo, after Assad terrorists severed their only remaining supply route into the battleground city.
Opposition fighters launched the offensive at dawn on Monday to reopen the strategic Kastello Road, their last lifeline into the city, according to the AFP news agency.
