Eastern Ghouta aid stopped


(MENAFN) According to the International Committee for the Red Cross, says it was forced to stop aid delivery to the besieged eastern suburbs of Damascus the previous day after the security situation got worse while aid workers were on the ground.

Spokeswoman of ICRC in Syria says most of the aid from a 46-truck convoy was delivered to the town of Douma in eastern Ghouta on Monday but the mission was cut short before the rest of the supplies could be unloaded.

According to a member of the Douma Local Council, nine aid trucks had to leave the area after government bombing and air strikes intensified in the evening.

The shipment of Monday was the first to enter eastern Ghouta amid weeks of a crippling siege and a government assault that has killed hundreds.
