Aid Flows Into Iraq Shiite Town After Siege Broken
2014-09-02
[Ynet] Aid began to flow to a small northern Shiite town in Iraq on Monday, a day after security forces backed by Iran-allied Shiite militias and US Arclight airstrikes broke a two-month siege by Sunni Lion of Islams.

Ali al-Bayati, who heads local NGO the Turkmen Saving Foundation, said that four trucks loaded with foodstuffs, medicine and fruit had entered the town of Amirli. The aid was sent by the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Red Islamic Thingy, he said, adding that soldiers had begun bringing food to families in their houses Sunday night.
