MOSCOW (Sputnik) — International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) sent an aid convoy with food and other necessities to besieged Syria settlements, the organization said Saturday.

"71 trucks delivering aid to 60,000 people in 4 towns —incl. food, medical supplies & hygiene kits," ICRC Syria posted in its Twitter blog along with the photos of the convoy.

On September 19, a deadly attack hit a joint UN-Syrian Arab Red Crescent convoy carrying humanitarian aid for Syria's Aleppo province. The tragic incident left 18 out of 31 trucks wrecked and at least 21 people killed, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

Aid deliveries to the region were briefly suspended but soon resumed despite the continued fighting.
