Beirut - Muslimchronicle
A region besieged by the regime forces east of Syria’s capital on Sunday received UN aid for the first time in five years, a UN source said.
Al-Nashabiye is in the Eastern Ghouta region, a rebel-held area on the outskirts of Damascus that has been ravaged during the six-year conflict.
On July 22, the government declared a ceasefire in parts of the enclave, one of four proposed “de-escalation zones” designated in a deal reached by its allies Iran and Russia and rebel backer Turkey in May.
“This is the first time that a humanitarian convoy has entered Al-Nashabiye in five years,” a source involved in the UN aid delivery said.
The source said food and non-food aid was delivered to 7,200 needy people, days after further aid deliveries in Eastern Ghouta.
Russia said on Tuesday it had delivered more than 10,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid to the Ghouta area.
More than 330,000 people have been killed in Syria since its conflict broke out in March 2011 with anti-government protests.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
