  • Joint teams of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) have managed to deliver food and hygiene items for more than twelve thousand people in the besieged town of Moadamiyeh near Damascus. Medicines and other medical items were also distributed for about 10,000 people. Thousands of people waited for hours on the edge of the buffer-zone separating the warring parties, where the food deliveries were made. Moadamiyeh is one of the many towns that is under siege in Syria.
