Doctors Without Borders has suspended its activities in the besieged Damascus suburbs of East Ghouta after militants stormed its hospital looking for wounded enemies amid intense clashes between rival Syrian rebel groups.
According to reports from MSF-supported doctors in the area, about 30 masked and armed men stormed the Hazzeh Hospital in the East Ghouta region on 29 April, looking for specific wounded patients. They also stole the hospital’s ambulance.

With Syrian, Kurdish SDF and US forces each inching closer to Raqqa by the day, the much anticipated ‘Battle of Raqqa’ may prove to be a Pyrrhic victory.
ISIS has occupied the Syrian city of Raqqa since 2013 and since then, the city has functioned as the self-proclaimed capital of the so-called Islamic State.
Now though, according to unnamed US defence sources cited by Fox News, Raqqa is rapidly being abandoned by not only ISIS commanders but also by ISIS ‘civil servants’.
