UN Security Council considers measure demanding 30-day ceasefire in Syria

UNITED NATIONS, United States, Feb 10, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The UN Security
Council is considering a draft resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire in
Syria to allow for deliveries of humanitarian aid, according to the text seen
by AFP on Friday.

Sweden presented the measure that would also demand an immediate end to
sieges, including in Eastern Ghouta where a bombing campaign by government
forces has killed more than 240 civilians in five days.
