Damascus: A convoy of food and medicines entered two besieged Syrian towns near Damascus on Wednesday, the first aid delivered to them since 2012, the International Committee of the Red Cross told AFP.

The towns of Zamalka and Erbin were the last remaining besieged areas in Syria that had not received any humanitarian aid, after the UN delivered assistance to the other 16 earlier this year.
