MOSCOW: Russia has sent 2.5 tonnes of humanitarian aid including 700 kg of bread to Homs province in Syria, reports China’s Xinhua news agency.
The Russian military brought bread, canned fish, meat, sugar, flour and cereal to the village of Ein Al-Dananir on Thursday, according to Colonel Igor Borodin, a representative of a Russian humanitarian center in Syria.
Russian military doctors also provided medical treatment to villagers in need.
Russian negotiators have also been busy working to persuade the armed forces in Syria to start reconciling with the government.
A cease-fire brokered by Russia and the US, which came into force on Feb 27, has brought relative peace to the war-ravaged country, although fighting has broken out. -- Bernama
