In the besieged Eastern Ghouta area, "the number of patients treated in the hospitals we support has gone beyond breaking point," said Dr Bart Janssens, director of operations for Doctors Without Borders (MSF). "The number of requests for medical supplies has shot up," he added. While Eastern Ghouta has been bombed frequently during a year and a half of suffocating army seige, the strikes in recent weeks have been particularly devastating. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 183 people have been killed in raids in the past 10 days, most of them civilians.
