Syrian war: UN to expand aid amid partial truce in Syria

The UN is poised to begin delivering aid to people living in besieged areas of Syria, making use of a truce brokered by the US and Russia.
Its first deliveries are planned for Monday, with aid due to reach about 150,000 Syrians in besieged areas over the next five days.
The UN hopes to help an estimated 1.7 million people by the end of March.
Saturday’s long-awaited truce appears to be holding despite complaints of breaches from both sides.
A key Syrian opposition group said the situation was much better.
