Russia delivered more than three metric tons of humanitarian aid to Syria’s provinces of Hama and Latakia, a daily bulletin on the Russian Defense Ministry website said on Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups such as the Daesh and Jabhat Fatah Al-Sham (formerly, the al-Nusra Front), both outlawed in Russia and a range of other states.

“Citizens of Slayeb Turkman (Latakia province) have received 2.24 tonnes of food (sugar, flour, rice, tea, canned meat and fish). Citizens of Kairun (Hama province) have received 1 tonne of flour. Posts with hot meal and essentials continue their work for civilians who leave the districts of the Aleppo city, which are under control of terrorist armed groups,” the bulletin said.
