- An Aid Convoy Enters Ghouta While Bombing Kills Its Civilians


Air strikes have hit Douma in Syria's rebel-held Eastern Ghouta just after 13 trucks of food aid crossed into the enclave, heading for the town, according to opposition activists and a monitor.

The development came on Friday after an overnight pause in fighting encouraged the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to send the convoy in, that had previously been delayed due to violence.

However, shortly after the aid convoy crossed into the enclave on Friday, the SOHR said, the air strikes resumed.

The UN estimates that 400,000 people live in the rebel-held areas of Eastern Ghouta.
