The cessation of hostilities in Syria that came into effect at sunset on Monday is holding well into its first day, reports suggest. UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had recorded no civilian deaths in the first 15 hours of the truce. Residents in the embattled northern city of Aleppo reported calm. UN officials say they are waiting to deliver aid to besieged areas but need better guarantees of peace.
