Humanitarian assistance began to act in the besieged suburb of Damascus

The Syrian government approved access to seven besieged areas on February 16

Nine trucks with humanitarian aid crossed the checkpoint at the entrance to the besieged suburb of Damascus Mudumia al-Sham. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent reported this to Western news agencies on February 17.

The Syrian government approved access to seven besieged areas on February 16. About 100 trucks left Damascus earlier on February 17 as part of an operation under the auspices of the UN to assist people in the besieged areas.

The column of trucks with humanitarian aid was supposed to deliver it on February 17 to Maday, Zabadani and Mudumia al-Sham near Damascus, who were in the siege of government troops of the President Bashar al-Assad, and in the village of Al-Fua and Kefray in the province of Idlib, which are surrounded by militants opposing the forces of Assad.
