The first aid convoy since November entered the Syrian opposition enclave of Eastern Ghouta on Wednesday (February 14th), the UN said.
Intensive bombardment by the Syrian regime killed more than 250 civilians in the besieged enclave outside Damascus last week, AFP reported.
"First UN and Syrian Red Crescent inter-agency convoy this year crossed conflict lines to Nashabieh in Eastern Ghouta to deliver food, health and nutrition supplies for 7,200 people," the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
Some 400,000 people live in Eastern Ghouta, where they have been under regime siege since 2013, facing severe food and medicine shortages.
The UN Security Council is considering a draft resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire in Syria to allow for urgent deliveries of humanitarian aid.
Sweden and Kuwait presented the draft, which would also demand an immediate end to sieges, including on Eastern Ghouta, after Russia last week rejected as "not realistic" a similar appeal by UN aid officials.
