The humanitarian situation in Eastern Ghouta, controlled by several armed opposition groups, remains tense. Humanitarian agencies have confirmed worsening food conditions in this area, but not mass starvation.
Russia, which is in charge of monitoring the situation in this de-escalation zone, believes that the rumors about hunger in Eastern Ghouta are exaggerated, but has noted that the region has the highest concentration of communities in urgent need of humanitarian aid and strongly advises the West to engage in providing humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people.
