<p>Russia, the US and Jordan have agreed a ceasefire in southern Syria. Food and medical
supplies are delivered into this area cross-border from Jordan and are assessed to
be meeting priority needs. Russia, Turkey and Iran have also declared ‘de-escalation
zones’ in Idlib, Eastern Ghouta and Northern Homs. Food and medical supplies enter
Idlib cross-border from Turkey, but the Assad regime continues to severely restrict
aid going into the other two zones. The level of violence has reduced in recent months,
but there are still reports of attacks by pro-regime forces on civilians, particularly
in eastern Ghouta and Idlib, and humanitarian workers are exposed to significant risks.</p>
