Damascus, SANA – Prime Minister Wael al-Halaqi said that the government has been working diligently to provide support for the people of Aleppo ever since the road leading to it was reopened by the Syrian Arab Army.
In a phone call with the Syrian TV on Saturday, al-Halaqi said that shipments sent to Aleppo on Thursday and Friday amounted to 108 tankers of heating fuel, 61 tankers of gasoline, and 4 gas tankers, and a second shipment of 52 orders of heating fuel, 25 of gasoline, and 8 of gas were sent on Saturday, asserting that such shipments will continue to be sent.
The Premier asserted that more support will be provided to Aleppo within next few days, which will include petroleum products and essential supplies, stressing that Aleppo and breaking the siege imposed on it by terrorists have been at the forefront of the government’s concerns.
He went on to note that 13 trucks carrying vegetables, fruit, sugar, rice, detergents, oil, and canned food arrived in Aleppo on Saturday, with two more shipments scheduled for Sunday and Monday, adding that work is underway to open retail outlets for positive intervention establishments to provide supplies for the people of Aleppo.
Al-Halaqi also addressed the issue of power outages in Aleppo, saying that the government is exerting massive efforts to deal with this issue, but the main problem regarding this matter is the constant terrorist attacks on power infrastructure, particularly on al-Zarba-Hama power line.
