The aid packages included flour, sugar, rice and canned food, according to Ilkov.

"The reconciliation center's officers are constantly monitoring the situation, finding those in need and carrying out targeted humanitarian missions. The situation is difficult here, there are poor villages, there are many of those in need. We are constantly helping people," he added.

Earlier in the day, the center stated a total of 17 tonnes of humanitarian cargo had been delivered to the Hmeimim airbase in Latakia. Further UN aid was en route to the besieged city of Deir ez-Zor on board Russian planes. Russia has been carrying out regular humanitarian aid deliveries to various parts of Syria and has been facilitating the distribution of UN aid in Syria where a civil war has been ongoing since 2011.

The reconciliation center has been monitoring local ceasefire and peace deals reached by armed groups and government forces across Syria.
