The British-based watchdog said
the death was caused by the severe lack of foodstuffs and aid, as well as
doctors treating them were not able to receive required immediate medicines.
The rebel-held areas of
Mou'adamiya are under an intense siege by the regime forces.
The Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights urgently called on the Syrian Red Crescent and the Red Cross, as well as
all aid and relief organizations working in Syria, to work on immediately
negotiation to break the siege and supply the tens of thousands of civilians in
the besieged parts of Mou'adamiya the vital food and medical equipment.
Syria's conflict began in March
2011 largely as peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It escalated into a
civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government
crackdown on dissent.
More than 200,000 people have
been killed in the conflict, according to Syrian Human rights NGO's and 1.7
million Syrians, including one million children, have been forced to flee to
neighboring countries, the United Nations says.
