Syria: UN aid reach 5 besieged Syrian areas
The United Nations says convoys carrying “life-saving aid” have reached five besieged areas of Syria.
UN officials said trucks carrying food, medical equipment, and medicine for almost 100,000 people had reached rebel-held Madaya, Muadhamiya, and Zabadani near Damascus, and pro-government northern villages of Foah and Kefraya on February 17.
Humanitarian supplies reached some of the areas last month amid reports of people starving.
According to the UN, nearly half a million people live in besieged areas in Syria.
