Food aid is arriving in southeast Damascus, initially distributed in Babila town which has been under siege from regime forces, a local activist told the Anadolu Agency on Wednesday.
Rami al-Said told AA that two trucks of food aid had been distributed in Babila, including sugar, rice, tea, sauce and burghul wheat.
The aid will soon reach other regions in the south, he added.
He said soldiers from President Bashar Assad's regime had received food at checkpoints in Rami and Yarmouk regions, only then to distribute it as if they were the ones providing it.
He added that some of the people receiving aid said they were aware the soldiers did not provide the food.
