Reported Russian airstrikes in eastern Ghouta sharply increased in the last full week of February<\/a>, allegedly killing hundreds of civilians and reaching levels never before tracked by Airwars researchers. <\/span><\/p>\n
Syrian government strikes on the rebel-held suburb of Damascus, where 400,000 people remain trapped, had already escalated at the start of February ahead of a possible ground offensive by regime forces. Aid agencies and monitors <\/span>described the bombings as the worst in years. At a Security Council briefing on February 28th, UN humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock said that over 580 people had been reported killed<\/a> due to air and ground strikes in eastern Ghouta since February 18th, along with upwards of 1,000 people who had been injured. <\/span><\/p>\n
