The Russian military plans to visit about 30 Syrian settlements and distribute humanitarian aid to them, TASS reports. According to the Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties, the residents of Syria will receive more than 60 tons of food. This humanitarian action is timed to coincide with the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Muslims celebrate the holiday for several days. The humanitarian action will continue for the same number of days. The first points of delivery are already working.
