Rebel says Aleppo due to get aid Friday, but has little hope it will
BEIRUT, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Humanitarian aid is due to be delivered to Aleppo on Friday following a withdrawal of combatants from a contested road leading to the city on Thursday, a Syrian rebel official said.
"Today the withdrawal is supposed to happen, with aid entering tomorrow. This is what is supposed to happen, but there is nothing to give hope," Zakaria Malahifji, of the Aleppo-based rebel group Fastaqim, told Reuters. (Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
