Meanwhile, in Syria, the United Nations has suspended all aid after its aid convoys were attacked by warplanes on Monday outside Aleppo. At least 18 of the convoys were destroyed in the attack, which came as aid workers were unloading food and other supplies at a Red Crescent warehouse. The Red Cross says 20 people were killed in the attack. The Red Cross condemned the attack as a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.” The U.N. says it may amount to a war crime. It’s not known who carried out the attack. This comes as the ceasefire brokered between the U.S. and Russia aimed at decreasing the fighting in Syria and allowing for aid to reach besieged areas appears to have collapsed, after U.S.-led bombers attacked a Syrian military position on Saturday, killing scores of government soldiers and allowing ISIS fighters to overrun the survivors.
