The U.N. estimates 600,000 Syrians are trapped in different sieges.

Since then, Moscow and Washington, which back opposing sides in the Syrian civil war, have been accusing each other of violating the peace deal.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said dozens of air strikes had hit the rebel-held half of the divided city overnight, killing and wounding a number of people.

Ibrahim Alhaj of the Syrian Civil Defense search and rescue organization said hospitals and rescuers had documented the deaths of 43 people so far. Since Thursday, bombing campaigns have killed about 350 people in and near Aleppo, according to the Local Coordinating Committees of Syria, a network of activists and groups who report on the conflict.

Hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties and medical workers are expecting numerous wounded to die from a lack of treatment, according to Mohammad Zein Khandaqani, a member of the Medical Council, which oversees medical affairs in the city's opposition quarters.

"I've never seen so many people dying in once place", he said from a hospital in the city.

De Mistura said U.S.

A United Nations official on Saturday noted almost two million people had been cut off from running water.

He urged an immediate cessation of hostilities, delivery of humanitarian aid, and evacuation of urgent medical cases.

French Ambassador Francois Delattre said: "War crimes are being committed here in Aleppo", and called for action to ensure the atrocities do not go unpunished.

In response, the European Union reaffirmed its commitment to destroy Da'esh in Syria and Iraq, urged Russian Federation to go back to the negotiating table and demanded an expanded humanitarian access to all areas of Syria.

A September 9 ceasefire deal orchestrated by United States and Russian Federation aimed at putting Syria's peace process back on track effectively collapsed on Monday when an aid convoy was bombed north of Aleppo.

The Syrian conflict was getting worse and was now more intractable than it was a year ago, he said. They (the Russians) are guilty of protracting this war and making it far more disgusting.

"When it comes to instances such as the bombing of civilian targets in Aleppo, we should be looking at whether or not that targeting is done in the knowledge that those are wholly innocent civilian targets. That is a war crime".

Earlier, Mr Johnson accused Russian president Vladimir Putin of "protracting" and called for an investigation into whether Russian forces were committing war crimes.

John Key delivered a speech to the United Nations General Assembly ahead of the Security Council meeting on Syria.

"Putin's regime is not only as it were handing Assad the revolver".

"Instead of peace, Russian Federation and Assad make war", she said. The offensive, involving ground troops as well as air power, has targeted rebel positions across the country, inflicting "heavy losses" on them, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

The arguments came on the same day that at least 26 civilians were killed in renewed government airstrikes on Aleppo. On Saturday a pumping station was bombed, cutting off water to rebel-held areas, and another was shut off in retaliation.
