[quote]Thousands of Syrian civilians have finally been allowed to leave the besieged Damascus suburb of Muadhamiya.

The BBC's Lyse Doucet, who was at the scene, describes a tide of desperate people leaving the area, which has been closed off since March.

Supplies in Muadhamiya had been running desperately short, and residents had pleaded to be saved from starvation.

The exodus of civilians has been made possible by an apparent relaxation of a blockade by government forces.

The Syrian army had previously said that rebel-held areas of Damascus such as Muadhamiya could surrender or starve.[/quote]

It's good to see some kind of humanity still exists where it seems like there hasn't been any for a long time.

Hope those people will be okay. Starvation seems like a fucking terrible way to go.

What bullshit.

Finally letting civilians flee the area they indiscriminately shell for months on end isn't humanity how you see it~

Its awful that the routinely do this to rebel held towns to begin with, and shoot those who do try to escape.
