Syrian army drops leaflets, inform civilians of humanitarian corridors

The Syrian army has released footage, showing soldiers dropping leaflets near the capital Damascus in Eastern Ghouta.

The army said Saturday it dropped leaflets daily, informing civilians of safe places, humanitarian corridors, map of area and medical points.

One leaflet read: “Everyone holding this paper is considered to have dropped arms against the Syrian military and can benefit from the amnesty issued by the president of the Arab Republic of Syria. All army checkpoints must guarantee the safety and protection of all this paper’s holders and provide them with food, medicine and shelter in accordance with the laws of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

Nearly 100 patients in Eastern Ghouta, including children, are the priority for medical evacuations among more than 1,000 sick and wounded people in the besieged Syrian enclave, a senior World Health Organization official said on Friday.
