- #Assad Regime Commits A Monstrous Campaign Of Annihilation In Eastern Ghouta” Says UN


Top #UN officials demanded an immediate cessation of aerial attacks on Syria's devastated Eastern Ghouta with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling the rebel-held enclave "hell on Earth".

#Assad regime forces plotting with Russian warplanes continued to bombs eastern Ghouta with at least 60 civilians killed on Wednesday, bringing the civilian death toll to more than 290 - including 60 children - over the past three days.

"My appeal to all those involved is for an immediate suspension of all war activities in Eastern Ghouta," Guterres told a UN Security Council meeting. "This is a human tragedy that is unfolding in front of our eyes, and I don't think we can let things go on happening in this horrendous way."

About 400,000 people live in the area, which has been besieged for years by #Assad militia with few supplies reaching the desperate population.

UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein called the air strikes and artillery fire a "monstrous campaign of annihilation".
