Several members of the UN Security Council on Thursday called for humanitarian access to southwest Syria as well.
Olof Skoog, Swedish ambassador to the UN, called on parties concerned to "enable cross-border convoys from Jordan and urgently step up the protection for civilians" ahead of an emergency meeting called by Kuwait and Sweden, which holds the Council's rotating presidency this month.
Kuwait and Sweden meanwhile called for an end to bombing, the protection of civilians and the delivery of humanitarian aid, said Annika Soder, a Swedish foreign ministry official.
"It is important that the cross-border humanitarian assistance from Jordan is able to reach the refugees," said Dutch UN ambassador Karel Van Oosterom.
French UN ambassador Francois Delattre said that the deliberate shelling of civilian targets was a "clear violation of the agreement of the de-escalation zone."
"We need all parties to respect their obligations. All of this is ruining the current efforts for a dialogue," he added.
Syria launched a fresh offensive against rebels in the country's south on June 19 and now has its sights set on southwestern Daraa and Quneitra provinces.
