US Occupation Forces, Allied Militants Block Humanitarian Aid Deliveries to Hajin Town in Syria’s Deir Ezzour

DEIR EZZOR, (ST)- The US occupation forces and their allied militants from the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)  have once against blocked the deliveries of basic humanitarian supplies to locals in Hajin town in the Syrian eastern province of Deir Ezzour.

The humanitarian aid was provided by the Syrian government, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) and the Russian Coordination Center and it was destined for the town of Hajin.

According to the media Coordinator for SARC in Deir Ezzor Mohammed Dhiab, a convoy of 10 truckloads of drinking water, medicine, hygiene products and other basic commodities was once again prevented from passing al-Salihiyah crossing point by the SDF militants.

He told SANA that the convoy had been stopped at the SDF-controlled crossing point for five consecutive days before being denied entry under the pretext that American forces in the area had not allowed the passage.

Dhiab further noted that US troops and SDF militants placed concrete barriers and barricades in front of the trucks.

On January 31, US occupation forces and SDF militants prevented an aid convoy from the Syrian government and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent from reaching villagers in the rural outskirts of Deir Ezzour despite guarantees from the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) concerning free and unimpeded deliveries of humanitarian aid shipments throughout the Syrian territory.
