Shocking video allegedly shows malnourished baby at Damascus medical centre

Video released on the internet on Saturday purports to show children in the rebel-held eastern Damascus suburbs of Eastern Ghouta who appear to be severely malnourished. A baby girl, seen in the video as she is being treated at a medical centre in Eastern Ghouta, died after severe malnutrition worsened her pre-existing medical condition, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said on Tuesday.
