But isn’t there already a ceasefire?
Yes.
A nationwide ceasefire was brokered by the US and Russia in February.
The aim is to salvage as much as possible.
Additionally, a unilateral truce has been in effect since the weekend in the coastal region around Latakia and the eastern area of Ghouta around the capital, Damascus.
So when will there be a truce in Aleppo?
As soon as possible, diplomats say.
