At least four people were killed and nine others were injured Saturday when a car bomb exploded near an aid convoy in the Syria's central province of Hama, medias reported.
The blast targeted four truckloads of humanitarian aid of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) near a government-subsidised bakery in the town of Salamiyeh in Hama, Xinhua reported citing SANA news agency.
The wounded people have been taken to nearby hospitals.
The explosion also damaged shops, cars and other properties, according to the report.
SARC has lost about 34 of its humanitarian workers during the country's long-running conflict.
