The Head of State officially confirmed that 33,250 families, or 167,000 people, will receive flour in the coming weeks.

Syria's new government demands Putin completely withdraw his troops
Syria's opposition forces, which recently overthrew the regime of Bashar Assad, want the Kremlin to completely withdraw its military contingent from the country.
What is important to understand is that this applies to the bases in Hmeimim and Tartus, and the deadline is set for February 20, 2025.
According to the GUR, some of the Russian occupiers were stranded in the open sea due to the breakdown of the cargo ship Sparta, which was used to evacuate equipment and weapons from Syria.
The Sparta suffered a technical malfunction while underway — a fuel pipe to the main engine failed. The crew is trying to fix the problem, but the ship is currently drifting in the open sea near Portugal.
Also recently, the head of European diplomacy, Kaia Kallas, and some European Union leaders are insisting that Syria be freed from the Russian military presence.
