- Agencies (IRW) - The #UN's World Food Programme (#WFP) said on Wednesday, that it has resumed aid deliveries in parts of Syria's Raqqa province for the first time in three years using a newly opened land route.
The deliveries come as thousands of civilians are being displaced by a US-backed campaign to drive ISIS out from its stronghold in northern #Syria.
Until last month, the World Food Programme was relying on flying aid from #Damascus to the province of Hasakeh and then delivering it to surrounding areas including Raqqa countryside..
"WFP is now delivering food every month to nearly 200,000 people, displaced in eight hard-to-reach locations inside #Raqqa Governorate as well as other areas in neighbouring governorates," the #UN agency said.
