Damascus: A new Qatari aid convoy entered southern Syria from Jordan, comprising 12 trucks carrying 96 tons of flour, as part of the joint humanitarian efforts made by the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Damascus and the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) to support the brethren in Syria.

In a statement on Wednesday, QRCS indicated that the shipment will go to local bakeries, to be used in producing and distributing bread in the affected areas. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society (SARCS) will be responsible for handing the flour over to the bakeries based on their respective needs.

A few days ago, the first batch of aid was deployed by Qatar's Embassy and QRCS to the same area.

Qatar is committed to pursuing its humanitarian efforts to secure the basic needs, especially food, bread, and medical supplies, amid the difficult humanitarian conditions facing the affected civilians there.
