DAMASCUS, May 12 (Xinhua) -- A batch of Qatari humanitarian aid arrived Monday in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo, Syria's state television reported Tuesday.
The convoy, consisting of 60 trucks loaded with flour, tractors, and agricultural machinery, is part of Qatar's efforts to support local food production and basic civilian services in the war-torn country, the report said.
The aid was unloaded in the northern city of Azaz before being transported to Aleppo city for distribution to local bakery directorates, in a bid to ensure a steady supply of bread to residents, particularly in communities facing economic hardships, the report said.
More aid is expected as part of Qatar's broader humanitarian support to Syria, the report added.
Qatar was among the first countries to reopen its embassy in Damascus following the ouster of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
