The Red Cross said Thursday that it had delivered food to more than 12,000 people in the besieged town of Moadamiyeh near Damascus, Reuters reported.
The agency emphasized that the aid was only enough to last for three weeks, and that regular access to the town of 50,000 residents was needed.
"What we have seen on our way into town only shows how desperate the people are in Mouadamiya. They are hungry and they need us," Marianne Gasser, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Syria said. "Unconditional aid must be allowed to reach people in all the besieged and hard-to-reach areas in Syria."
Medical supplies for 10,000 people were also transported via convoys of the the ICRC and Syrian Arab Red Crescent, the Red Cross said in a statement. The agency is also seeking to deliver aid to other besieged towns including Madaya, and al-Foua and Kefraya in Idlib province.
