According to Haq, the UN is preparing aid convoys so they can leave “soon” in the coming days.
On a visit to Damascus, the UN mediator, Staffan de Mistura, he had already advanced today that it will begin to try to get aid to besieged areas and that this movement would test tomorrow the will of the Syrian government to allow such actions.

“Tomorrow we will put this to the test,” he said De Mistura said in a statement that was distributed by his office in Geneva and in which he recalled that the entry to these areas is done in convoys , whose displacement coordinates the UN office in Damascus.
