In a similar manner, the Emirati foreign ministry also expressed concern at the escalation of violence and called for an “immediate truce” to halt the bloodshed and protect civilians. It also called for allowing humanitarian and medical aid to civilians.Syrian jets have been raining bombs on the eastern suburbs of Damascus in recent days, killing more than 300 people which sparked international outrage.

United Nations Chief Antonio Guterres described the death and devastation that has engulfed Eastern Ghouta since Sunday as “hell on earth”, and joined France in calling for an immediate humanitarian truce. According to the Dailymail, the UN Security Council is expected to vote on a draft resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire to allow deliveries of aid and medical evacuations.
