Ukrainian Grain Arrives in Syria: A Small Step in a Larger Humanitarian Effort
On December 31st, over two dozen trucks carrying 500 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat, the first shipment under the Grain from Ukraine program, will arrive in Syria. This flour will provide free food for approximately 167,000 Syrians for one month. This initial delivery fulfills a promise to bolster Syrian food security, with the potential for significantly larger future shipments. The program has already sent 23,000 tonnes of maize to Mozambique and Malawi.
