BEIRUT
(Reuters) - Residents of Syria's eastern Ghouta district said they were
waiting their "turn to die" on Wednesday, amid one of the most intense
bombardments of the war by pro-government forces on the besieged,
rebel-held enclave near Damascus.
At
least 38 people died on Wednesday. At least 310 people have been killed
in the district since Sunday night and more than 1,550 injured, the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said.
The
eastern Ghouta, a densely populated agricultural district on the
Damascus outskirts, is the last major area near the capital still under
rebel control. Home to 400,000 people, it has been besieged by
government forces for years.
