United Nations, March 3 (RHC)-- The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says several issues of a "logistical nature" have delayed aid deliveries to besieged areas of Syria.

Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the UN body, said on Wednesday that "a much simpler procedure" is needed for the assistance to proceed.  The remarks came after a ceasefire agreement in Syria brokered by Russia and the United States entered into force on February 27. 

The Syrian government accepted the terms of the truce on condition that military efforts against Daesh and the al-Nusra Front Takfiri militants, who are excluded from the ceasefire, continue.
