Warring Syrian parties expected in Geneva for peace talks this week must agree to "tear down the Berlin Wall" blocking aid workers from reaching besieged Syrians, a senior humanitarian leader urged Tuesday, AFP reports.
Jan Egeland, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, and UN officials said they were willing to talk with any faction, including the "Islamic State" (ISIS) terrorist group, if it helped deliver life-saving aid to victims of the conflict.
Peace talks, delayed by disputes over the make-up of the opposition delegation, are due to open on Friday.
