Syrian government forces on Sunday continued their airstrikes and shelling of Eastern Ghouta, a rebel-held suburb of the capital Damascus, hours after the UN Security Council approved resolution demanding a 30-day nationwide cease-fire.
A week of intense attacks on Eastern Ghouta killed at least 510 people, including 127 minors, according to latest figures.
