Syria: Govt forces captured ten percent of area in Eastern Ghouta enclave

In Syria, pro-government forces have made advances in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta enclave and captured ten percent of the area.

Some four hundred thousand people are trapped in the Eastern Ghouta where food and medical stocks are dwindling, and more aid is unable to get in.

Meanwhile, Turkey said it had captured a Kurdish town in the northwestern Afrin region.APP/AFP
