Air strikes hit near Damascus during aid distribution: NGO

Syria’s air force struck a besieged rebel-held town Saturday as UN and Red Crescent workers distributed aid there, AFP cited a monitor and activists saying on Saturday, May 24th.
“Two air strikes hit Douma during a visit of a delegation of the United Nations to the town’s outskirts,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Activists said one of the strikes hit an area adjacent to a warehouse where aid is being stored, but that aid was distributed nonetheless.
Douma is in the Eastern Ghouta area of Damascus province, where rebels are under siege and residents suffer terrible humanitarian shortages.
Activist Hassan Takieddin said 400 aid parcels were distributed “to the whole of Eastern Ghouta. That is very little.”
