The Syrian Army’s Operations Command announced two humanitarian corridors in northeastern Syria today, Sunday 25 January 2026.
According to the command, the first corridor will run along the Raqqa, al-Hasakah road near Tal Baroud village (in the countryside of al-Hasakah, northeastern Syria), in coordination with al-Hasakah Governorate.
The second corridor will start at the Ayn al-Arab junction on the M4 highway near Nur Ali village (in the northern Aleppo countryside), in coordination with Aleppo Governorate.
The command said the corridors will be designated for the entry of aid and humanitarian cases.
The announcement came after the “Aleppo Central Response Committee,” in coordination with UN agencies, said it was sending an aid convoy of 24 trucks carrying medical, relief, and logistical supplies to Ayn al-Arab (Kobani, northern Syria).
In a statement published through its official channels this morning, Aleppo Governorate said the convoy set off to support humanitarian and service needs in Ayn al-Arab.
UNHCR Representative in Syria Gonzalo Vargas Llosa said on X that the convoy is carrying essential food items, relief supplies, and fuel, in addition to winter assistance for civilians.
Aleppo Governorate’s media office director, Mamoun al-Khatib, told Enab Baladi that the convoy includes food supplies, heating items, bread, and general medicines, as well as medicines for the most vulnerable groups.
He added that the governorate will deliver the convoy to the last Syrian Army checkpoint, after which it will continue toward Ayn al-Arab. Distribution will be supervised by the United Nations, he said, noting that Aleppo Governorate has plans to send additional convoys depending on field developments.
Aleppo Governor Azzam al-Gharib had issued a decision on 7 January to form the “Aleppo Central Response Committee” to follow up on the situation of displaced people and provide shelter and support, in coordination with local and international organizations.
The committee was formed in the wake of events in Aleppo’s al-Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods, which ended with the Syrian Army taking control of the area and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) withdrawing, after several days of clashes that resulted in civilian casualties and displacement.
On Saturday, al-Gharib issued another decision amending the committee’s structure and significantly expanding its tasks to cover all administrative areas in the governorate, with a particular focus on Ayn al-Arab (Kobani).
Aleppo Governorate said the governor will chair the committee, which includes a number of members of the executive office and directors of relevant departments.
Humanitarian appeals
The Kurdish Red Crescent team in Kobani issued an urgent appeal to humanitarian organizations and the United Nations to intervene immediately, warning of a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the city, which it said has been subjected for days to a military campaign and a tight siege imposed by armed factions affiliated with the Syrian government, according to a statement relayed by SDF media official Farhad Shami.
The appeal said the siege has prevented the entry of food, fuel, and basic supplies, leading to the displacement of hundreds of families who have taken shelter in abandoned buildings after electricity and communications were cut. It described the situation as “catastrophic,” evoking memories of the 2014 siege of Kobani by the Islamic State group.
As Kurdish political and diplomatic activity in support of Kobani has intensified, the Kurdish National Council (ENKS) announced it is in contact with the Syrian government to open a humanitarian corridor toward the city.
The council’s representative in Damascus, Mahabad Tizyani, said the siege imposed by the Syrian Army is placing heavy pressure on residents, adding that the council has contacted every responsible party to lift it. He said they are also working to extend the existing ceasefire between the SDF and the Syrian Army.
Kurdish media outlets quoted the representative as saying there is an opportunity to open a humanitarian corridor if the ceasefire is extended, but that the file is complicated and Damascus has not yet set a date.
The Syrian Defense Ministry had announced a 15-day extension to the ceasefire period between the Syrian government and the SDF.
The ministry said the extension comes in support of the US operation to evacuate Islamic State detainees from SDF-run prisons to Iraq.
Government forces have not entered the Kurdish-majority areas, most notably the cities of Qamishli, al-Hasakah, and Kobani, amid negotiations over how these areas will be administered and how government institutions will be allowed in.
