He added that the center had carried out one humanitarian operation in Aleppo over the past 24 hours, delivering 500 food sets to local residents. The number of Syrians who were granted amnesty by the Syrian authorities over evading the duties of military service was 56,746 as Tuesday, Kupchishin said.
The shelling is reportedly not rare in Syria, which only recently has started to recover after years-long armed conflict between the government and various armed groups.
