BREAD production resumed in the Syrian city of Daraa for the first time in two months as stability returns to the region after the surrender of jihadists who had held it under siege.

Local government spokesman Farid al-Sweidan reported on Sunday that two facilities have started work, with the allocation of flour increasing by 1.5 tons, enabling it to feed the population of Daraa.

Residents began returning to their homes last week after the last remaining jihadists were shipped out on buses to Syria’s northern Idlib province.
