The UN has said it will send a humanitarian mission to Syria this weekend to assess the situation there.
Its team will be part of a delegation led by the Syrian government, which will also include staff from the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation, BBC News reported.
The group will visit key opposition towns including Homs, Hama and Deraa.
The announcement comes on the first anniversary of the uprising against the Syrian regime, which to date has claimed more than 8,000 lives.
In a statement, UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos stressed the importance of “unhindered access to identify urgent needs and provide emergency care and basic supplies”.
“There is no time to waste,” she said.
