"The relief team conducted the needed assessment and registration, while other teams distributed 130 food parcels provided by the ICRC," it said in a press release.
The Red Crescent also said it was ready to deliver emergency aid to displaced Syrians in the Rukban camp in the southeast on the border with Jordan. It confirmed that a joint mission with the UN was delayed over logistic issues and security concerns. The Russian military said Saturday the United States had failed to secure the area around its At Tanf base.
