Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  They're standing.... Again, my information is from the medical people on the ground and what they're telling me. I don't have a military background, and I don't know what's going on there military-wise, really, in more specific detail. What I was told is that there are no foreign

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I'll comment on this.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Most of the facilities over there are working on generators. There really is no electricity that gets to the hospital. They're using generators to operate the hospitals in that region. As Dr. Al-Kassem mentioned, and I'll elaborate on it, people there have been really creative in

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I have the same answer, so I don't have anything to add. People don't want to leave. We just need more access for them to get humanitarian aid in.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think my colleague Anas was just talking about evacuating injured people, not everyone on the ground, but many injured people. I don't think it would be safe to take injured people to Damascus, because we don't have facilities there or the trust to be able to treat those peop

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I'll just elaborate on Muzna's point. The people feel like they're trapped over there. But there's definitely consensus among people, especially in communicating back and forth with them, that they don't want to leave the area. They don't want to go into exile because they've se

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Sorry, what's the number?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  No, it's 13,000 since the uprising started, and 600 only in the last 10 days.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, that's just for Eastern Ghouta.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  As far as I know, there are no talks. Again, we're more involved in the medical field, but what we hear from the people on the ground is that no talks are happening. The problem is that there is really no trust. So even if there were talks, the people there cannot trust the Syria
