Russia says it’s coordinating fresh convoy to Syria’s besieged Ghouta

Russia’s defense ministry says its officials are discussing with international humanitarian organizations a plan to send a fresh aid convoy to Syria’s rebel enclave of Eastern Ghouta.

The United Nations says a convoy delivering desperately needed aid to the town of Douma in the besieged enclave was forced to cut its mission short amid shelling.

“Following the humanitarian convoy to Douma, we discussed measures to coordinate new humanitarian convoys to Eastern Ghouta, including one planned for Thursday,” Russian agencies report General Vladimir Zolotukhin as saying.
