ISIS released this week pictures alleging to show boxes of halal chicken intended for civilians being burned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to The Independent<\/a>, the militants set fire to the food aid because the birds had been killed in the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo trucks transporting boxes of food aid were apparently stopped at a checkpoint in Aleppo province in an area under the militant group\u2019s control on Wednesday,\u201d the newspaper reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cImages from a propaganda account affiliated with ISIS show militants emptying the trucks, which were filled with chicken legs, fruit and vegetables, and dumping them at the bottom of a hill in the Akhtarin countryside, in north Aleppo,\u201d the report added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boxes of chicken were labeled \u201cKoch Foods,\u201d a U.S.-based chicken company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked why they burned the chicken, Abu Mohammed Hussam, reportedly an activist with the Syrian group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, told The Independent: \u201cISIS said that the chicken is not slaughtered the Islamic way. The chicken was supposed to be going to civillians.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In February, photographs posted on ISIS-affiliated websites showed the militant group handing out food from aid packages that seem to bear the United Nation\u2019s World Food Program (WFP) logo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boxes appeared to have been labeled with the ISIS infamous insignia, news website Vocativ reported adding that parts of the WFP logo were still visible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In posts on channels supportive of the group, the aid is described as \u201czakat,\u201d or almsgiving to the poor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations food agency expressed alarm over the images circulating on social media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWFP condemns this manipulation of desperately needed food aid inside Syria,\u201d Muhannad Hadi, the agency\u2019s emergency coordinator for the Syrian crisis, said at the time.<\/strong>
\n According to U.N. estimates, 9.8 million people are in need of food assistance in Syria<\/strong><\/p>\n
