The largest aid convoy so far in Syria has reached a besieged rebel-held town in the center of the country.
Sixty-five lorries are delivering food and medicine to about 120,000 civilians in and around Rastan, in Homs province, BBC reported.
The International Committee of the Red Cross and Syrian Red Crescent convoy is the first to reach Rastan since 2012.
A key aim of the fragile cessation of hostilities that has been in place for nearly two months was to allow aid to be delivered more widely across Syria.
On Wednesday, hundreds of sick and wounded people were evacuated from four besieged rebel- and government-held towns as part of a deal overseen by the Syrian Red Crescent.
