The United Nations food agency, the World Food Programme (WFP), is "extremely concerned" about images surfacing on the Internet featuring Daesh logos on food aid boxes, reports AFP.
The images, which appeared on social media, show food aid being distributed in WFP boxes to people, including children, with a "shabby" sticker of the black Daesh flag adhered over the original blue UN crown.
"WFP condemns this manipulation of desperately needed food aid inside Syria," Muhannad Hadi, the agency's emergency coordinator for the Syrian crisis, said in a statement late Monday.
"We urge all parties to the conflict to respect humanitarian principles and allow humanitarian workers including our partners to deliver food to the most vulnerable and hungry families," he added.
The photographs appear to have been taken in Dayr Hafr, which is the same location where Daesh raided Syrian Red Crescent (SARC) warehouses in September 2014, writes AFP.
