UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has expressed strong concern over continued violence and hostilities in Syria, saying the Arab country is "bleeding inside and out".
He called for full implementation of a UN resolution for a ceasefire in the strife-torn nation.
"I am saddened by the immense loss and cascading suffering of the Syrian people. And I am disappointed by all those who have, year after year, by action or inaction, by design or indifference, allowed this to happen…Syria is bleeding inside and out," the UN chief said.
