(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian regime airstrikes on besieged Eastern Ghouta suburbs killed two civilians on Tuesday, Civil Defense agency said.
The strikes pounded the suburb of Arbin as the resume heavy fighting in Eastern Ghouta since Sunday after a short period of relative calm following reports that a cease-fire had been agreed there late Friday.
Last Friday, a rebel official said that Assad's ally Russia had promised the opposition delegation at peace talks in Vienna that it would put pressure on Damascus to enforce a truce in eastern Ghouta, Reuters reported.
International concern has been rising over the fate of 400,000 people living in besieged, rebel-held eastern Ghouta as acute food and medicine shortages have contributed to what the United Nations has called the worst malnutrition of the war.
