Aid Enters Syrian Town after IS Siege Breached
Syria's state-run news agency says a convoy of 40 trucks carrying 1,000 tons of humanitarian aid has arrived in Deir el-Zour after troops secured a corridor to the eastern city.
The land convoy is the first since Syrian government forces and allied militiamen breached a nearly three-year-old siege by the Islamic State group on government-held parts of the city on Tuesday.
SANA said the convoy reached a garrison known as Brigade 137 on the southwestern edge of the city Thursday, carrying thousands of food baskets, fruits and vegetables, medicine, school books and stationary.
Syrian troops are dismantling land mines in an effort to expand the corridor to allow for more aid into Deir el-Zour amid Islamic State counterattacks and heavy fighting.
