Damascus: A convoy of medical and food aid entered a regime-besieged town near the Syrian capital on Wednesday, the Red Cross announced.

"We entered with medical aid to Moadimayat al-Sham and we are distributing food aid in the buffer zone" between regime and rebel forces, Pawel Krzysiek, spokesman in Damascus of the International Committee of the Red Cross, told AFP.

He said the joint convoy of the ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent was made up of 10 trucks loaded with food supplies and two with medical equipment and medicine.
