DAMASCUS: Trucks carrying food and aid deliveries entered three Syria towns on Sunday nearly one month after a ceasefire agreement was reached between warring parties sources said.
Convoys of humanitarian aid entered Zabadani near Syria's border with Lebanon as well as Fuaa and Kafraya in the country's northwest Idlib province.
A member of Zabadani's council told AFP that aid had entered his town while a Syrian security source on the ground said "three cars and one truck of aid entered" Fuaa and Kafraya.
The six-month ceasefire brokered by the United Nations entered into effect on September 24 and ended months of fighting between regime forces and opposition groups in the towns.
Under the agreement the Red Crescent is to deliver aid to the three areas as well as evacuate thousands of civilians from Fuaa and Kafraya.
Those evacuations would come with safe passage for rebels and their families from Zabadani to northwestern Syria.
But the evacuations and aid deliveries were delayed by road closures in Idlib province.
Short truces agreed previously between the warring parties have often been broken.
