Russia has been airdropping aid to the besieged population in Deir ez-Zor since January 15, 2016.

More than 26 aid pallets have been airdropped by Russian cargo planes to help some 200,000 civilians tragically besieged by ISIS in the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor.

The pallets dropped contain food and medical supplies to help overcome the nearly 1-year blockade.

The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) have successfully received the packages and will distribute the aid to the needy civilians.

In April 18, a Russian Su-30 fighter jet escorted a UN-freighted cargo plane while airdropping tons of basic humanitarian aid to the ISIS-trapped civilians.
