Fleeting Moment Of Peace Allowed Darayya To Finally Get Aid

Thanks to a 48-hour ceasefire – and we mean a real ceasefire where combatants actually cease firing – the besieged Damascus suburb of Darayya received its first aid convoy since 2012. Darayya has had a tough time. Not only have they struggled with limited supplies and a blocked aid convey, but also their electricity supply was cut off more than three years ago.

Though it is a temporary calm, it provides some hope for the 4,000 people besieged in Darayya by Syrian government forces.
