Nearly 400,000 Syrian citizens are trapped in Syria, the news published in huffingtonpost describes the dreadful condition of these people. The people trapped in eastern Ghouta have started eating garbage to survive. President Bashar al-Assad has imposed a siege on the rebel-held region outside Damascus since 2013. Since the siege has begun hundreds of civilians have died because of starvation and medicine shortage. Due to acute food shortage, many families give preference to feed children, they are fed first and the adults skip the meals. Some families adopt “rotation strategies” in which the children are fed in alternate days.
