Syria: Aid Reaches Besieged Town of Madaya Amid Starvation Reports
------------------------------------------------------------------

An aid convoy has reached the besieged Syrian town of Madaya, where the
United Nations says it's received credible reports of people starving to
death. About 40,000 people have been trapped in the rebel-held town for
six months amid a Syrian government blockade. Monday's shipment was the
first foreign aid to reach Madaya since October.
