UN says Syria blocks aid promised under US-Russia peace deal

GENEVA, Sep 15 (Reuters) Syria's government is holding up delivery of UN aid that was supposed to move unhindered under a US-Russian peace deal, United Nations Special Envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura said today.
"We have a problem," de Mistura told reporters in Geneva. "The government, I repeat the government, was expected to provide facilitation letters - it's a bureaucratic word, translated into English, permits, authorisations," he said.
"Those facilitation letters, i.e. final permission for the UN to actually reach those areas (needing aid), have not been received," he said, adding that they were required immediately.
