ACU said it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the local council of Blas in rural Aleppo to provide the town with relief aid. The aid includes 400 food parcels, 40 tons of flour, 240 kg of yeast, 400 blankets, 200 mattresses and other items of aid that suffices the town for a month. The move comes as part of ACU’s efforts to support the Syrian people and enhance stability. ACU works with local councils and local aid groups, international donors and aid agencies, and international and local NGOs to identify areas of need and link donors with actors on the ground. ACU has also played an important role in highlighting Syria’s urgent humanitarian needs, producing professional and high-quality technical assessments for humanitarian and relief needs.
