BEIRUT: An aid convoy entered Syria’s battered Eastern Ghouta Friday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said, after a previous delivery was cut short by bombardment of the rebel enclave. Dignitaries of the besieged Eastern Ghouta in the countryside of Damascus, talk on a cellphone with rebels entrenching in the area, in Damascus, Syria. The new convoy was carrying food that aid workers were unable to distribute on Monday. “Today, they will deliver the remaining of the aid that wasn’t delivered during the previous convoy of March 5,” Sedky said. “We also have some positive indications that a bigger convoy with additional supplies including medical items might happen next week,” she added.--AFP
