In Syria, The United Nations says a humanitarian aid convoy is entering the town of Douma in the besieged area of Eastern Ghouta.

The UN's humanitarian affairs office said on Monday that the trucks are bringing health and nutrition supplies, along with food for 27,500 people in need. But the UN says some life-saving health supplies were not allowed on the trucks. The convoy's arrival is the first - aid delivery into Eastern Ghouta in nearly three weeks.
