Syrian government forces and their allies committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in the ferocious battle for rebel-held suburbs of Damascus, United Nations investigators said in a report issued on Wednesday, citing the starvation of civilians and indiscriminate bombardment that may have included repeated use of chemical weapons.

The report says that Assad regime intensified its land and aerial attacks on the eastern Ghouta since February 2018 to April 2018, and that some people were left to death, although there was a possibility to rescue them.

It should be noted that the people of eastern Ghouta have been forcibly displaced, under the agreement imposed on the opposition in Ghouta following the Barbarian military campaign launched by the Assad forces, backed by Russia, during which chemical weapons were used against civilians.
