The dire situation in Eastern Ghouta is described as a ‘hell on earth’ by the head of the United Nations.

According to human rights groups, the death toll has risen to more than 400 killed, since Sunday. The U.N. Security Council convened on Thursday for an emergency meeting, to come up with some sort of truce.
