According to the ministry, the United Nations delivered 144 tonnes of food and medical supplies to the province of Daraa.
Over the past 24 hours, two other settlements joined the ceasefire agreement, which currently encompasses a total of 2,235 towns and villages. The tally of armed groups which have vowed to observe the ceasefire is still standing at 233.
