Further strongly condemns the Syrian authorities’ use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, of besiegement directed against civilian populations and of cluster munitions, and the indiscriminate use of heavy weapons and aerial bombardment, incendiary weapons, ballistic missiles and barrel bombs, and stresses the particular situations of concern in Idlib, where reports suggest that the use of some of these methods of warfare by the Syrian authorities have recently led to the deaths of civilians and the internal displacement of 300,000 people, and Eastern Ghouta, where up to 400,000 people remain besieged, and demands rapid, unhindered and sustained humanitarian access to and medical evacuations for those in need;
