UN: Syria fighting cuts off passage to rebel part of Aleppo
None
GENEVA - A UN spokeswoman says that intensified fighting between Syrian government forces and rebels in contested Aleppo has completely cut off the only road allowing access for humanitarian aid deliveries into the rebel-held part of the city.
Alessandra Vellucci said on Tuesday that the Castello road, considered the only access in and out of eastern Aleppo, has been rendered "impassable" since hostilities there worsened last week.
Vellucci says the UN.estimates that 300,000 people depend on the road, which allows for the flow of supplies, goods and civilians into the area.
