The U.N. Syria
envoy met Syria's foreign minister on Monday and discussed a cessation
of hostilities, a resumption of peace talks this month, and the need for
"unhindered" delivery of humanitarian aid to areas besieged by all
parties, a U.N. spokesman said. Staffan
de Mistura held talks with Walid al-Moualem in Damascus and was due to
meet him again later in the day, spokesman Ahmad Fawzi told a news
briefing in Geneva, saying: "We are witnessing a degradation on the
ground that cannot wait." U.N.
human rights spokesman Rupert Colville condemned the deadly air strikes
on hospitals and schools in northern Syria on Monday, saying: "Clearly
Syrian and Russian planes are very active in this area, they should know
who is responsible ... "If it was deliberate, intentional targeting of those facilities, it could amount to a war crime," Colville said.
