Syria accused of ’slow-motion slaughter’ of people trapped by war

The Syrian government committed "slow-motion slaughter" of an unknown number of Syrians trapped in besieged and hard-to-reach areas by wilfully denying them food and healthcare, according to a new report from a civil rights group.
Physicians for Human Rights said in the report that the Syrian government consistently exploited a new UN aid delivery system, depriving millions of Syrians unable to leave their towns and cities of critically needed food and medicine.
