The United Nations Enhances Its Support to As-Suwayda`a with a New Relief Convoy
On Tuesday morning, the third relief convoy from the United Nations/WFP entered As-Suwayda`a. The convoy consisted of 22 trucks accompanied by a UN delegation, via the Damascus–As-Suwayda`a highway.
The arrival of this convoy comes amid the ongoing living crisis and shortage of basic supplies, alongside preparations to send a fuel shipment to meet part of the population’s needs.
The first convoy had entered through the Busra al-Sham crossing before it was closed, while the second took the Damascus–As-Suwayda`a route, which has now become the only passage currently available for civilians and relief convoys after movement through the crossing was halted.
As it is noteworthy that the World Food Programme announced last week an urgent response plan in southern Syria, aiming to deliver food assistance to the residents of As-Suwayda`a and the families that affected by recent developments.
