Local sources from the embattled neighborhood of Esali near Damascus said vigorous efforts had been made by the Syrian regime to reach a ceasefire agreement amid objections by regimes backed militias.
The ceasefire deals come as troops loyal to Bashar Assad are trying to seize as many rebel-held parts of major urban centers as possible ahead of the June 3 presidential elections.
The truce in neighboring district of Damascus is a subject to rebel approval in order to ease the suffering in Esali and allowing food supplies and aid to get in, source told Zaman al-Wasl.
