(CNN) - The United Nations Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution calling for a 30-day cease-fire in war-torn Syria.
Saturday's vote ended multiple delays on the resolution amid disputes between the U.S. and Russia over the language of the truce.
The cease-fire will allow for the delivery of emergency aid and evacuation of the wounded in some of Syria's hardest-hit areas.
The resolution comes amid growing concerns on the situation in the besieged eastern Ghouta region near Damascus.
Doctors Without Borders said more than 520 people have been killed and thousands more wounded since last Sunday due to the relentless bombardment in the region.
