EU calls for truce in Aleppo to allow humanitarian aid

The European Union has once again called for a truce in Aleppo for humanitarian aid to reach the war-torn city.


A joint statement on the issue was published by High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini and European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides on late Tuesday.

"At the end of the humanitarian pause declared by Russia in Aleppo, no agreement has been reached on the medical evacuation of wounded civilians and the delivery of aid, in spite of continuous efforts by the EU, UN and all humanitarian actors on the ground," read the statement.

Mogherini and Stylianides said thousands of residents are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.
