Tens of truckloads of fuel reached the government areas coming from the Kurdish-held region in northeastern Syria amid acute fuel shortage in the country, a war monitor reported on Tuesday. The fuel crisis is the result of the renewed U.S. sanctions on Syria, which were tightened through the latest set of sanctions imposed on the country in March of 2019. (Xinhua/Ammar Safarjalani)
