I just have one last thing for Ms. Muzna Dureid.

You said that your family is in eastern Ghouta, just a couple of kilometres from Damascus. I've heard that in Damascus the people's situation is not ideal, but there are no bombing campaigns. They're even free to travel to Lebanon and back and forth. As the Assad regime is closing in on Ghouta and besieging the city, can you talk about the differences between those living in eastern Ghouta and those living in the capital, Damascus?
