Starvation is being used as a military tactic against the besieged area of Moadamiyeh.
Moadamiyeh has been cut off from the outside for almost a year.
Activists claim there are thousands of citizens remaining in the area, which has endured electricity cuts, the 21 August chemical weapons attack and now, starvation.
Residents are surviving on a diet of olives and dry leaves and 11 children have died from malnutrition.
