US State Dept. accuses Syrian gov’t of stealing humanitarian aid from East Ghouta

The United States welcomed the delivery of first humanitarian convoy to the besieged Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta since November 15, but accused Damascus of “pilfering” the supplies, US Department of State spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Tuesday.


“We welcome this much-needed step forward for the people of #Syria. We’ve seen reports that the Syrian regime is pilfering aid, stealing badly needed medicine and supplies. Syria and #Russia can (and must) put a stop to this!” Nauert wrote on Twitter, attaching the statement of the World Food Programme on the delivery of aid.

​United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Monday that the relief teams were able to deliver food for about 27,500 people and noted that the delivery was taking place against the background of continuous shelling of the areas by the terrormilitants.
