Most residents in opposition-held areas of Syria's Aleppo favour the UN's proposal of a "freeze" in fighting, but are sceptical that a truce will hold, a survey published Thursday said. The poll said 53 percent of people surveyed favoured a lull in fighting, with 38 percent saying a freeze would allow humanitarian aid to reach war-torn areas of Syria's second city. Less than one in 10 respondents said a truce would expedite a political solution to Syria's conflict, however. The poll, conducted by the Sada Centre for Research and Public Opinion and the Arab Reform Initiative, surveyed 975 people in opposition-held areas of Aleppo city.
