The United Nations will push for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria even after bursts of fighting in the last opposition-held region have punctured a two-year truce there, killing hundreds, a UN envoy said Monday.
Geir Pedersen, the UN special envoy for Syria, spoke to reporters after meeting the foreign minister in Damascus. Syria's economic situation is “extremely difficult as close to 15 million people are in need for humanitarian assistance,” he said.
