Syria’s Bashar al-Assad have launched dozens of airstrikes in eastern Ghouta over the past two days, resulting in the deaths of almost 200 Syrian Civilians.
This attack follows more than 700 civilians who have been killed in the last three months alone, leading to warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe, eclipsing that of the past atrocities in the seven year war.
Syrian researcher, Dianne Semaan, has spoken of these atrocities describing the experiences of the Syrian people as suffering a cruel siege for the past six years and now trapped in a daily barrage of attacks, deliberately killing them, constituting flagrant war crimes.
