Reuters reported on January 9th that: Humanitarian groups could begin delivering much-needed aid in three besieged Syrian towns as early as Sunday, spokesmen said on Friday.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and UN World Food Program (WFP) said they were preparing convoys packed with food and medical supplies for suffering populations in the towns of Madaya, al-Foua and Kefraya.
As Syria reels from war, a six-month-long blockade of Madaya by the Syrian army and its Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, has trapped about 40,000 residents now enduring a harsh winter.
Further north, the villages of al-Foua and Kefraya, in the Idlib governorate, are home to some 20,000 residents under siege by armed opposition groups.
Twenty-three people have died of starvation in Madaya since Dec.1 at health centers supported by Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)or Doctors without borders, the global medical aid group said.
Siege warfare has been used in Syria “in a ruthlessly coordinated and planned manner” with the aim of “forcing a population, collectively, to surrender or suffer starvation,” a UN commission of inquiry has said.

The Iranian regime's Bassiji forces raided Saudi's embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad last Sun. Jan. 3 setting the buildings on fire. Many Arab  and North African countries including Saudi Arabia has either condemned this attack or have cut ties with Iranian regime. The attack on Saudi's embassy was condemned at the UN security Council also. The Iranian regime's attempt failed on Oct. 11, 2011 to assassin Saudi's foreign Minister on US soil.

In a related news the Iranian regime on Thursday claimed that a Saudi-led coalition had hit its embassy in Yemen in an airstrike. The airstrike claim by Iran came Thursday afternoon, when its state-run news agency said a Saudi-led airstrike the previous night hit the Iranian embassy in Sana, citing Iran’s Foreign Ministry. But an Associated Press reporter who reached the site just after the announcement saw no damage to the building in a neighborhood near a presidential palace that has seen many airstrikes.
Iranian regime even filed a complaint to the UN Security Council accusing the Saudis of deliberately hitting its mission. But the Saudi military was quick to dismiss the allegation as false and baseless.
Later on Friday and after the scandalous embassy bombing accusation proved to be nothing but a deceptive tactic, the Iranian regime tried to remedy the situation by sending the deputy foreign minister to the scene to say that the missile had hit the buildings adjacent to the embassy and not the embassy building itself.
The White House spokesman, Josh Ernest was quoted by the German DPA news agency that Iranian regime’s claim are contradicting.
