Just keep looking at these pictures of bloodied and shocked Syrian civilians who survived today’s heavy airstrikes on their homes in Eastern Ghouta. In the meantime, the bombing campaign is still going on. It’s getting worse by the minute.: image via Sakir Khader @sakirkhader, 6 February 2018

It’s not a war on terrorism. It’s a war of terrorism. How do people become so ignorant that they completely ignore what’s really going on there? Whatever the reason, the world has repeatedly failed in its promise of ‘never again’. And it’s still failing.: tweet via Sakir Khader @sakirkhader, 6 February 2018

More deadly regime strikes as Syria toll mounts: AFP News, 6 February 2018
Fresh regime strikes on a besieged rebel-held enclave near Damascus killed 35 civilians on Tuesday despite mounting Western pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The bloodshed came a
day after another 31 civilians were killed in Eastern Ghouta and as the
United Nations pleaded for a truce in the seven-year-old conflict to
allow for aid deliveries.
Fighting also raged in the northwestern province of Idlib,
where the UN said the violence "made a mockery" of the de-escalation
zones agreed last year in a bid to pave the way for an end to the war.
The
latest casualties in Ghouta, on paper also a de-escalation zone, came
as Washington threatened military action over the reported use of
chemical weapons in the enclave, which regime and allied forces have
besieged since 2013.
The death toll rose from an initial report of
16 "because the strikes are continuing -- some new victims died in
Douma and some critically wounded people died of their wounds," the
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Observatory chief Rami
Abdel Rahman added that few rebels were among the dead because they
rarely left their tunnels and had better protection from air strikes
than civilians, estimated to number around 400,000 in Ghouta.
In
apparent retaliation, rockets were fired on Damascus's Bab al-Touma
neighbourhood, killing three civilians, the state news agency SANA
reported.
Increase in violence
Although less deadly,
regime attacks involving suspected chlorine-filled munitions on Ghouta
have also been on the up in recent weeks.
The US State Department said on Monday it had recorded six suspected chemical attacks in Syria in the past 30 days.
Washington,
which last year launched cruise missiles on a regime airfield in
retaliation for a nerve agent attack in Khan Sheikhun that killed scores
of people, has threatened more military action.

France last month blacklisted companies and nationals it said had links to Syria's alleged chemical programme.
US
ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley clashed with her Russian counterpart
at a meeting of the Security Council on Monday after proposing a
statement condemning Damascus "in the strongest terms".
Russia, Assad's main backer, retorted that "no
perpetrators have been identified" and accused the United States of
orchestrating a "propaganda campaign" against the Syrian government.
The
UN said it was looking into the reports of chemical attacks and
condemned what it described as an escalation in violence in Ghouta and
Idlib.
Plea for aid truce
"Over the last 48 hours, the
scale and ferocity of attacks has increased dramatically," the
UN-mandated Independent International Commission of Inquiry said in a
statement.
In Idlib, the last province in the country to largely escape government control, daily fighting is also claiming an growing human toll and displacing thousands.
The UN commission said at least three hospitals were hit in recent strikes and shelling.
"These reports are extremely troubling, and make a mockery of the so-called 'de-escalation zones' intended to protect civilians from such bombardment," said Paulo Pinheiro, chair of the Commission.
After
talks in Russia and Austria last month failed to yield a breakthrough,
the UN's humanitarian coordinator and top envoys in Syria issued a
statement in Damascus Tuesday calling for a month-long truce.
The measure would "enable the delivery of humanitarian
aid and services, evacuation of the critically sick and wounded, and
alleviation of people's suffering, to the extent possible, wherever they
are," the UN said.
The UN said existing agreements on the
delivery of aid were not being honoured and stressed that "if access was
granted, three convoys could be dispatched each week, reaching over
700,000 people in these areas in two months."
While the fighting is abating in some parts of the
country, the humanitarian crisis is still in full swing and aid groups
predict a further 1.5 million people will be displaced in 2018.
There was no immediate comment from the regime or any of the other belligerents on the UN's appeal.
