Eastern Ghouta is now divided into three blockaded patches of territory that are rapidly shrinking under the government’s onslaught. “We urge the United Nations and members of the security council, and those with the ability to influence on the ground, to ensure that the residents of Eastern Ghouta are provided with safe corridors within Eastern Ghouta and between Eastern Ghouta and the rest of the Syrian territories,” said the Violations Documentation Center, a Syrian human rights group, in a statement. “The level of suffering in Eastern Ghouta is the latest example, joining Afrin and Mosul, Sana’a and Taiz,” he added. Doctors in East Ghouta, ask for immediate and unconditional evacuation for them, their families, and all the civilians. Start a mechanism for monitoring this process so what happened in East Aleppo will not happen in East Ghouta.
