UN and Red Crescent reach Syria with relief items for displaced people

Many of the displacement victims were reported to have moved towards Jordanian border and towards Quneitra.

Persistent hostilities in southern Syria since 17 June resulted in the displacement of around 66,000 individuals. This is in the inclusion of some 20,000 individuals displaced to areas in close proximity to the Nasib border crossing Jordan.

The UN and their associated humanitarian partners continue to provide support to the population in need with the help of essential relief items.

The UN and the Syrian Red Crescent Inter-Agency convoy has reached Bushra-Al-Sham town in Dara today in order to deliver the much-required relief items related to health and nutrition to about 7,500 people in need. Further assessment and conduct are in the queue for an informed future response from the area.

The Government of Syria heralded the opening of four 'corridors' through which influx from non-state armed group-controlled areas can be controlled and channelized towards the Jbab shelter in the government of Syria controlled part of Dara's governorate. Some 700 families were relocated in the shelter out of which 68 remained inside the facility.
