One of the incoming aids belongs to Saudi Arabia. A Saudi aid plane landed on Tuesday at a Syrian airport controlled by President Bashar al-Assad's government.
Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya reported that the plane carrying 35 tons of food and medical aid and shelter arrived at Aleppo International airport as part of a Saudi humanitarian operation to help Syrians affected by last week’s deadly earthquake.
It said the operation was carried out on the orders of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“The directives given to us from the leadership in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is to help the brotherly Syrian people affected (by the earthquake) across Syria,” a member of the Saudi delegation told Syrian television.
The person, who was not identified, said that Tuesday’s plane was the first of several set to arrive over the next days.
Before Tuesday, Saudi Arabia had sent aid only to the country’s opposition-held northwest, including a convoy of 12 trucks that arrived in the devastated city of Jandaris on Monday, according to Saudi state-owned Al-Hadath.
