İHH delivers food supplies to 3,000 families in Al-Bab, northern Syria
Al-BAB, Syria (AA) - Turkey's Humanitarian Relief Foundation (İHH) has dispatched an aid convoy to the northern Syrian town of Al-Bab.
“IHH sent 21 tons of rice for 3,000 families in need in Al-Bab. We delivered seven kilograms to every family,” Yusuf el-Bekkur, an İHH member, said.
He went on to say İHH will also deliver aid during Eid al-Adha in late August.
Al-Bab was captured from Daesh by the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army on Feb. 24 as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, which began in August.
Syria has remained locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011, when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity.
