Beirut
(AFP) - Syria's army launched a new deadly aerial campaign on
Damascus's rebel-held Eastern Ghouta region on February 18, with daily
bombardments since then turning it into "hell on Earth".
The
enclave, controlled by Islamists and besieged by government forces for
five years, was already subjected to a ferocious five-day air assault
this month that left around 250 civilians dead and hundreds wounded.
The
new round of strikes by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has
killed more than 360 civilians and wounded 1,700 others since Sunday.
