The Red Crescent and the United Nations announced Wednesday that a convoy delivered aid to tens of thousands of displaced Syrians in desperate need of assistance near the Jordanian border. It was the first such delivery in three months and the largest ever humanitarian convoy to reach the makeshift Rukban camp, the UN and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent added. The convoy of 133 trucks carried aid including food and childrens clothes, a SARC spokeswoman said. "Three months after a first humanitarian aid convoy entered the Rukban camp, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in collaboration with the United Nations is continuing to carry out its duty towards more than 40,000 displaced people in Rukban," SARC said in a statement. The aid also includes healthcare items and medical supplies, it said. "A vaccination campaign will be launched, under the supervision of a medical team, to immunize children against measles, polio, tuberculosis and hepatitis," SARC added. The convoy contained vaccines for nearly 10,000 children under the age of five, the UN said in a statement. Wednesdays delivery is the first to reach the camp on the Jordanian border since a smaller convoy from Damascus on November 3. Conditions inside the camp are dire, with many surviving on just one simple meal a day, often bread and olive oil or yogurt, according to one resident. Last month, the UN childrens agency UNICEF said eight children had died at the camp due to winter cold. "This large-scale delivery of essential humanitarian supplies to the extremely vulnerable in Rukban could not have happened a moment too soon," acting UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Sajjad Malik said. But he stressed the need for a long-term solution. "While this delivery of assistance will provide much-needed support to people at Rukban, it is only a temporary measure," he said. A long-term solution is urgently needed, Malik said. "Conditions at Rukban are increasingly desperate. The vast majority of people at the site are women and children who have been staying there for more than two years in harsh conditions," Fadwa Abed Rabou Baroud, a UN Damascus-based spokeswoman said. Rukban lies inside a "deconfliction zone" set up by US forces. Moscow and Damascus, who say US troops are occupying Syrian territory and providing a safe haven for opposition factions, have been pushing Washington to leave the area. The US-protected zone has encouraged many of Rukbans inhabitants to stay rather than go back to their homes in areas under regime control where they fear retribution by the Syrian forces, local officials say. Many youths fear being dragged into the military. Syrias war has killed more than 360,000 people and displaced millions since it started with the brutal repression of anti-regime protests in 2011.
