The United Nations should be able to deliver aid to all of Syria's 18 besieged areas within a week, a senior U.N. official said Feb. 18, after life-saving supplies reached five locations.

Turkey provided logistic support for the evacuation on Dec. 28 of two besieged areas under a United Nations-sponsored agreement brokered by regional powers as part of efforts by the U.N. to establish local deals on cease-fires and safe passage, the Turkish Foreign Ministry has said.

Ankara contributed to the declaration of a recent 48-hour cease-fire among Syria's warring parties in a frontline area, Turkish officials have claimed.

"Turkey made an indirect contribution in providing the truce," sources from the Foreign Ministry told the Hürriyet Daily News on Aug. 12, noting that Ankara would continue any efforts for truce in Syria.
