Russia Delivers Over 6 Tons of Humanitarian Aid to Syria

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to the statement, posts with hot meal and items of first necessity are still working for civilians fleeing the besieged city of Aleppo.

“Three humanitarian events have been held, in course of which citizens had received humanitarian aid: in Masyaf (Hama province) – 2 tons; in Marj Shali (Latakia province) – about 1 ton; in al-Khalidiyah area (Haliya Farhad school, Zekwa Hazel school) of the Aleppo city – 3 tons. Posts with hot meal and items of first necessity continue their work for civilians, who leave the districts of the Aleppo city, which are under control of terrorist armed groupings,” the bulletin said.

Syria's civil war between government forces and a wide range of insurgents, including opposition groups and terrorists, such as Daesh and Jabhat Fatah al Sham (also known as the Nusra Front, or Jabhat al-Nusra), both outlawed in Russia, has raged for some five years and has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

On September 9, Russia and the United States reached an agreement for a peace process in Syria. A ceasefire stipulated by the deal entered into force on September 12, but while it was supposed to last at least seven days for the next steps to be taken toward the Syrian settlement, it disintegrated soon.
