“I welcome the Security Council’s resolution on a ceasefire in Syria and call for all sides to allow the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid,” Guterres said in a Twitter message released on Sunday.
The United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution calling for cessation of war in Syria for 30 days.
The truce consists of fighting Daesh, Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda and all those groups which were recognized by the UN as terrorists.
The resolution proposed by Kuwait and Sweden was criticized by some countries due to ignoring sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria.
The U.N. Security Council on Saturday demanded a 30-day truce across Syria as rescuers in the country’s eastern Ghouta region said bombing had not let up long enough for them to count bodies during one of the bloodiest air assaults of the seven-year war.
U.N. chief Antonio Guterres appealed on Wednesday for an immediate end to “war activities” in eastern Ghouta, where nearly 400,000 people have lived under government siege since 2013, without enough food or medicine.
