Under the new US-Russia plan agreed as a result of talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday in Geneva, a demilitarized zone will be created around Aleppo to deliver aid to the city.

On August 27, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura reiterated his call for all parties to the Syrian conflict to agree on a 48-hour humanitarian pause in Aleppo aimed at aid delivery and repairs for the city's power and water systems. Russia supported the proposal.
