Fighting in western Syria halted on Saturday as the Russia-US plan for a temporary "cessation of hostilities" took effect.
"Let's pray that this works because frankly this is the best opportunity we can imagine the Syrian people has had for the last five years in order to see something better and hopefully something related to peace," the UN's envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura was quoted by Reuters as saying.
The temporary pause in fighting does not include the Islamic State or Nusra Front.
