UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) — A humanitarian aid convoy has arrived in Ain al-Arab in northern Syria to deliver food to displaced people, a United Nations humanitarian agency said on Tuesday.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that a convoy of 27 trucks carrying food, medicine and fuel arrived in Ain al-Arab (Kobane) on Monday.
"While the situation in Ain al-Arab is gradually improving, including the partial restoration of electricity, humanitarian needs remain significant," OCHA stated. "The electricity supply remains unreliable, meeting only about 40 percent of needs. Fuel shortages persist, availability is limited, and prices are rising," the agency emphasized.
According to local authorities, the top priorities are increasing access to medical supplies and electricity. Displaced families have highlighted the urgent need for mattresses, blankets, jerrycans, food, and medical care. Although markets are partially operational and food is generally available, prices remain high due to limited supplies, the humanitarian organization reports.
Many displaced families have expressed a willingness to return to their places of origin, but security concerns and reports of looting of property continue to hinder large-scale returns.
The agency also said aid arrived Monday in the Ak-Burhan camp in the northwest of the country, home to more than 1,000 families displaced from the Al-Hol camp, most of whom are Syrians and Iraqis.
According to OCHA, basic services are available in the Ak-Burkhan camp, including regular electricity and water supplies. Upon arrival, families received ready-to-eat rations, hot meals, and bread provided by humanitarian partners. Hygiene kits were also distributed.
The Office reported that since the beginning of January, humanitarian organizations have provided assistance to almost 190,000 people in Aleppo province and northeastern provinces, sending 29 convoys with more than 300 trucks of humanitarian aid. –0–
