The rebels said Syrian army jets had struck in Hama and Idlib, and used artillery near Damascus. Two civilians killed on Thursday were children in government-held areas, one in Aleppo and the other in Syria's southwest, it said. The U.N. humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland said both the rebels and the government were responsible for delaying aid deliveries into Aleppo. Two convoys of aid for Aleppo have been waiting in no-man's land to proceed to Aleppo after crossing the Turkish border. Aleppo, Syria's biggest city before the war, has been a focal point of the conflict this year.
