Hungry Syrians are eating grass, weeds and normally forbidden animals like cats, dogs and donkeys to survive. Hundreds of thousands are under sieges imposed by both the government and the rebels, many starving or stricken by disease. In the besieged Yarmouk Camp alone, about 100 people, mostly children, died this year. Clashes and attacks on humanitarian convoys are preventing basic goods from reaching trapped civilians. At 1930GMT, we discuss the challenges of delivering aid inside Syria.
