(Zaman Al Wasl)- A Syrian doctor was savagely beaten by members of an Islamist group in Douma city, northeastern the capital after a Facebook post criticizing rebels in the besieged Eastern Ghouta suburbs, activists said on Thursday.
Nouman al-Fawal, field medic and activist, has expressed sorrow for the deteriorating living conditions in Douma and the embattled suburbs of Damascus as rifts mount among armed groups mount. Fawal said the same people who went to streets to oust Bashar al-Assad are not able to criticize rebels. Hours later, he was beaten and was almost dead.
Syria's leading rescuing group on Tuesday appealed to the United Nations to break the four-year-old siege of Eastern Ghouta suburbs where about 400,000 people have been suffering malnutrition and deadly diseases.
The Civils Defense said 10 people, including children, were died in the past five months due to the severe blockade of the Syrian regime.
On October 30, the UN and Syrian Arab Red Crescent entered Kafr Batna and Saqba in Eastern Ghouta with humanitarian assistance. The inter-agency convoy brought food, nutrition and health supplies to 40,000 people in need.
In Eastern Ghouta, daily shelling has continued to be reported in recent weeks.
Humanitarian access to Eastern Ghouta – one of the four de-escalated areas where nearly 95 per cent of Syria’s besieged population lives – has been severely curtailed for months. Since the start of the year, 110,000 people have received food assistance, out of an estimated population of nearly 400,000.
