Red Cross Delivers Aid to Hama for 1st Time in a Month
2012-02-28
[An Nahar] The International Committee of the Red Thingy said on Monday its teams have succeeded in entering the central Syrian city of Hama for the first time in over a month.

A Red Thingy front man in Geneva said a joint team of the ICRC and Syrian Arab Red Islamic Thingy brought an emergency delivery of food and other items for 12,000 people.

Spokesman Hicham Hassan told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that it is the first time the aid group has been able to enter the city since Jan. 17.

Hassan said efforts to re-enter the embattled Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr continue.

He said the humanitarian situation in Baba Amr after days of fierce fighting is increasingly dire.
