Regime forces advance in Syria's battered Ghouta

Eastern Ghoutas 400,000 residents have lived under regime siege since 2013, facing severe food and medicine shortages even before the latest offensive

AFP, March 4, 2018 - Government forces seized territory inside Syria's rebel enclave Eastern Ghouta Saturday, intensifying fighting as tens of thousands of civilians in the besieged enclave near Damascus awaited urgently needed aid.
On another front in Syria's seven-year civil war, Turkish air strikes killed 36 pro-regime fighters in a Kurdish enclave near Turkey's border.
Syria's war has killed more than 340,000 people and spiralled into a complex conflict involving world powers since it started in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-government protests.
