Humanitarian Convoys to East Ghouta Delayed over Terrorists’ Shelling: Center for the Reconciliation

Representative of the Center for the Reconciliation of the Opposing Sides Yuri Yevtushenko said on Thursday that international humanitarian organizations have decided to delay sending a humanitarian convoy to Eastern Ghouta due to the increased instances of militants’ shelling attacks.

"International humanitarian organizations have made a decision in interaction with the Syrian authorities to reschedule a humanitarian convoy to the town of Douma, which was earlier planned for the morning of March 8, 2018, for later dates due to the intensified shelling attacks by the Jabhat al-Nusra (Al-Nusra Front) against the government troops and the al-Wafedin humanitarian corridor," the Defense Ministry said, TASS reported.

After the situation gets stabilized, the provision of humanitarian assistance will be resumed. On its part, the Center for the Reconciliation of the Opposing Sides has made all the preparations for a safe humanitarian convoy, Yevtushenko added.
