Aid supplies on Thursday reached a besieged Syrian town and two trapped villages for the second time this week, raising hopes of further deliveries to help people dying of starvation.
Syrian state media said six trucks had entered Madaya.
For months, tens of thousands have been blockaded by government troops in Madaya and surrounded by rebel forces in the two villages.
"According to the ICRC team that entered Madaya, the people were very happy, even crying when they realized that wheat flour is on the way," Dominik Stillhart, International Committee of the Red Cross director of operations, said in New York.
