Syria aid trucks reach edge of besieged Damascus suburb
None
A convoy of trucks carrying humanitarian aid arrived outside a besieged Damascus suburb on Wednesday in a major, UN-backed deal to deliver aid to tens of thousands of trapped residents in several of Syria's worst hit areas, a Reuters witness said.
Syrian state media earlier said that a convoy of 35 aid trucks had already entered the besieged area of Moudamiya al-Sham in the suburbs of the Syrian capital, but Reuters could not independently confirm that any aid had entered.
The Syrian government has approved access to seven besieged areas, the United Nations said after crisis talks in Damascus on Tuesday, a week ahead of a planned resumption of peace talks between Syria's warring parties.
