Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Inside Syria: How life goes on in a besieged town
Though it is a suburb of the capital of the country, the town is surrounded and blockaded by the government forces. Eastern Ghouta in Syria has a population of 400,000 and is a major defensive point for rebels. The town had been bombed by the government and Russian aircraft until a truce was signed in May. It is still blockaded and deliveries for daily necessities, including water, food and medical supplies, are quite limited.
How do people in such a disastrous condition live their daily lives? It seems that when there are no other viable options, people manage to find ways to cope with difficulties for survival, and also to have fun.
Enjoy reading the text and seeing the photos to learn what the street life in a besieged town in Syria.
