essential to the region needed because of city an auxiliary of human rights which is going to basically usually have said you guys guys and have to be near my they don't want him to pass by that i mean east i'm not they do have a lot of activists on the ground and have been very credible with them to make sure that it is a developing situation and the rebels are resisting. and how one how strong is that resistance you know the rebels have been on a fierce assault for weeks now. well this is not very strong because the rebels are not in a strong position the regime is firstly because they just do not cannot go back to the regime when it comes to the military might secondly because it being under siege since two thousand and thirteen neate and leave last year that siege was absent over the last week since eighteenth of february there has been relentless bombing by the regime so they're not a very strong opposition whether you look at their military might whether you look

at their supplies the regime is now trying to cut off that so pleasant i mean from all directions from east from south to north so it's essentially encircling. the east and down of their own peeved at this movie further in the idea that if you missed got out of their supplies if it is going to be about fighting it is about the opposition fighting the regime the opposition is certain to lose and that's why they've been trying to make their case that the civilians are the ones really dying and it was enough and the international community should come together that's really their only goal ok vora in beirut many thanks for that well the w. news has obtained exclusive footage that provides a close up look at the situation of civilians in eastern guta the footage comes from a resident inside the besieged town of to my doom of course has been the target of some of the worst bombing in syria's civil war. six in the morning in the
