The UN humanitarian chief was heading to Damascus on Wednesday to urge the Syrian government to allow relief workers access to the hardest-hit areas in a country where a year-old uprising has killed thousands of people.
Valerie Amos, whose request to visit Syria was rebuffed earlier this month by the government as regime forces attacked a rebel-held area in Homs, was due to arrive in Damascus on Wednesday and leave Friday. (AP)
