Syria war: UN Security Council to vote on Aleppo ceasefire


Aleppo, Syria (CNN) The UN Security Council will vote Monday on a proposed ceasefire in Syria's Aleppo to allow desperately needed aid into the war-ravaged city. It does not include groups the council categorizes as terrorist organizations, such as ISIS and the Al-Nusra Front (previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra). Twenty-four people were killed and more than 85 were injured in eastern Aleppo on Sunday in airstrikes and shelling, according to the Aleppo Media Center activist group. Khaled Chobello is one such resident, coming back for the first time since he fled in 2012, when rebels took over eastern Aleppo. As one of five permanent members of the Security Council, Russia has used its veto power to quash five resolutions on the Syrian conflict since the war broke out in 2011 following the Arab Spring uprising.
