UN suspends aid delivery in Syria after convoy, warehouse attack

The United Nations and aid agencies say a 31-truck convoy and a warehouse storing aid, which carries life-saving supplies for 78,000 people, was struck Monday night. Around 20 people were killed in an attach targeted the humanitarian aid convoy and warehouse in rural Aleppo, Syria. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the UN is suspending its aid operations in Syria. Since Aleppo is desperately in need of aid, this has marked a "very, very dark day for humanitarian in Syria", especially when it happened just hours after Syrian authorities declared an end to the ceasefire in the country. The US and Russia were blaming each other for contributing to this deadly violence.
