Russian military jet airlifts 40 tons of Armenian relief aid to Syria

"A second batch of food and clothes has been delivered to Syria from Armenia as part of a humanitarian assistance effort. An Il-76 military airlifter of Russia’s Aerospace Forces brought 40 tonnes of preserves, vegetables, fruits, flour, sugar and other essentials to the Hmeymin airbase," the ministry’s statement read.

The first batch of supplies from Armenia, a small ex-Soviet nation in the Caucasus mountains, is already being shared out among worst-hit Syrian towns.
