Militants operating in Eastern Ghouta have promised to allow civilians to leave the area in exchange for humanitarian aid, journalists reported.
Reports also said that the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society’s humanitarian convoy plans to enter Eastern Ghouta on Monday.
Forty-five trucks with humanitarian aid and a mobile hospital lined up on Monday morning at the checkpoint in the inhabited community of Al-Wafideen where a humanitarian corridor from Eastern Ghouta leads.
The humanitarian cargo includes foodstuffs, medicines and basic necessities with a total weight of 247 tonnes. The cargo is to be handed over with the support from the Russian center for reconciliation of the warring parties, which ensures the safety of the convoy’s passage.
