In my opinion this is all so bizarre. Especially, the part where they make it clear that the violence stopped HOURS AFTER the military declared the current cessation. The world has SO MUCH violence in it now and people need to chill. Why can't we go back to the 70's where people were just living life and minding their own business? Anyway, I just think this situation is all very bizarre and very unnecessary.

A convoy of aid trucks has been hit by an air strike near the Syrian city of Aleppo. Reports say, hours after the military declared the current cessation of violence was over. One unconfirmed report said 12 people were killed in the attack near the town of Urm al-Kubra. A UN spokesman said at least 18 of 31 trucks had been hit but could not confirm it was by an air strike. UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said it was an "outrage". "The convoy was the outcome of a long process of permission and preparations to assist isolated civilians," he said in a statement emailed to Reuters. The Syrian Red Crescent said the convoy had been making a routine delivery from Aleppo to rural rebel-held areas. Images posted online showed what appeared to be aid lorries engulfed by flames. Activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said 12 people - aid workers and truck drivers - had died. The Syrian government has not commented. Mr de Mistura's humanitarian adviser, Jan Egeland, said the convoy had been "bombarded" while offloading at warehouses. About 78,000 people are in need of aid around Urm al-Kubra.
