A UN aid convoy delivering food relief to a rebel-held area near Aleppo has been targeted in an airstrike, just hours after the Syrian military declared an end to its observation of a week-old ceasefire agreed by the US and Russia. At least 18 trucks in the convoy, and a Sarc warehouse, were hit, according to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric. The official said there were no confirmed details on casualties from the attack on the aid convoy. “But we have great hopes it can go at dawn tomorrow.”Egeland said another aid convoy from Damascus had reached Big Oren, a rebel-held rural area near Aleppo, and had unloaded aid for 78,000 people trapped there. Another convoy had left from a UN aid hub in Homs on Monday, bound with food for 84,000 people in opposition-held Talbiseh.
