The Red Cross says it is negotiating with all parties in Syria to work out a “cessation of fighting” and to bring aid to the civilians hit hardest by the nearly year-long conflict, Reuters reports:
“The ICRC is exploring several possibilities for delivering urgently needed humanitarian aid. These include a cessation of fighting in the most affected areas to facilitate swift Syrian Arab Red Crescent and ICRC access to the people in need,” chief ICRC spokeswoman Carla Haddad told Reuters.
