Russia delivers humanitarian aid to Syria’s Dael

Russian military has delivered over 10 tons of humanitarian aid to recently liberated city of Dael in Daraa province.

“Today we are in the inhabited community of Dael, Daraa Governorate, <…> and are once again ready to help the fraternal Syrian people,” chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria Alexei Tsygankov told reporters.

Russian servicemen have delivered food packages, hygiene products and water.

“The fact that 20,000 people have returned to the city over the past week shows that life is returning back to normal. Today the city has more than 40,000 residents,” Tsygankov said, adding that prior to the war the city was home to 60,000 people.

 “We thank Russia and the Syrian army for bring security back to our homes,” one local resident said.
