Syrian government approves 'in principle' UN aid request for besieged towns
BEIRUT - The United Nations said on Monday the Syrian government has approved "in principle" a UN request for an aid delivery to the besieged Syrian towns of Madaya, al-Foua and Kefraya.
"Based on this, the UN will submit a detailed list of supplies and other details; and will include and reiterate the request for nutrition supplies and entry of nutrition/health assessment teams," the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs spokesman, Jenes Laerke, said.
No time or date was given for the aid shipment. Madaya is besieged by Syrian government-allied forces, and al-Foua and Kefraya by insurgents.
