Syria must allow the opening of humanitarian corridors to aid those in need, a spokesman for international mediator Kofi Annan said today.

"Mr Annan is aware that we don't have a perfect situation in the country at the moment," his spokesman Ahmad Fawzi said, on day two of a Syria ceasefire introduced under a peace plan drawn up by Annan. "There are detainees that need to be released, humanitarian corridors need to be opened."
