First 12 trucks of the “Pulse of Life” convoy, which has a budget of 5 million dollars, entered Syria from Kilis province in southeastern Turkey on Friday.

Following a press statement at Kilis Öncüpınar Border Gate, 125 tons of flour, 2,275 food packages, 3,000 blankets and 500 mattresses were transferred to trucks coming from Syria at the customs area.

Speaking at the news conference, IHH Kilis Coordinator Center Director Erhan Yemelek said: “Our goal is to put a loaf of bread in the tables of our Syrian sisters and brothers, to share their pain and show them that they are not alone in the wake of tyranny.”

“The problem in Syria is not only the problem of Syrians but all the Muslims in the world. We should have a humanitarian look at this issue. This convoy shows that Muslims of the world are at the side of Syrian sisters and brothers,” he added.

The aid items which were transferred to trucks coming from Syria will be delivered to Syrians in Aleppo and its villages.
