- Seven Children With Cancer In Ghouta Might Be Evacuated

- #Damascus : Seven children with cancer might be evacuate from a besieged area, a British charity says.

Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, an adviser to the charity, told the BBC that Assad's private office had said he would decide next week.

The children are among more than 130 needing urgent medical treatment in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta that is severely besieged by Assad.

Earlier this month the Red Cross said life in Eastern Ghouta was becoming "impossible" and the situation there had reached a "critical point".
