SYRIA ICRC AID CONVOY

Aid arrives outside besieged Syrian town as starvation toll mounts

epa05097290 A handout image dated 11 January 2016 made available by the International Committee of the Red Cross, showing a Red Cross aid convoy on its way to the besieged city of Madaya, Syria. A convoy of trucks carrying food and medical aid arrived at a government checkpoint outside the besieged Syrian town of Madaya, where Doctors without Borders (MSF) says almost 30 people have died of starvation. The aid convoy would not cross into Madaya until a parallel convoy was able to enter two government-held Shiite villages besieged by Islamist rebels in north-western Syria. Red Crescent said some 330 tonnes of food and medical aid were being sent to Madaya, enough to last for about 40 days. EPA/HANDOUT BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
