01:40Syria: First batch of humanitarian aid arrives in Kurdish-majority Sheikh Maksoud neighbourhood since earthquake
Trucks with Syrian Arab Red Crescent logos delivered the first shipment of humanitarian aid for affected people by the Turkey-Syria earthquake in Sheikh Maksoud, in Aleppo, on Sunday.
Footage shows trucks throughout the streets of the Sheikh Maksoud neighbourhood carrying humanitarian shipments. Syrian Arab Red Crescent logos could also be seen on the trucks and jackets of members.
Sheikh Maksoud's neighbourhood, which is controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic, is surrounded by areas controlled by the Syrian army and opposition militias, making aid transportation a difficult task to achieve.
Earlier, the co-chair of the General Council of the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighbourhoods, Walat Ma'mo, accused the Syrian army of preventing the passage of humanitarian aid to the neighbourhoods.
On Monday, February 6, two earthquakes hit Syria and Turkey, devastating cities across the two countries. Many buildings collapsed, with Aleppo and Haman Idlab affected the most in Syria.
At the time of publication, the combined death toll exceeded 46,000 twelve days after the devastating earthquake. Around 40,642 have reportedly been killed in Turkey as well as 5,800 deaths in Syria.
