Deir Ezzor; Messages of Civilians' Starvation between the regime and ISIS
Syrian have always compared between the crimes of the regime and those of ISIS and the targeting of civilians by both of them. Today, particularly in Deir Ezzor, the cycle completes as ISIS does the same thing the regime have been doing for the last two years; Starvation of Civilians
Since the mid of February 2015, ISIS started tightening the siege on the neighborhoods of Deir Ezzor that fall under the regime control. Three hundred thousands of the residents and the displaced live in these neighborhoods, the thing that lately reflected badly on the nourishment and the health levels; many diseases appeared and they might turn into plagues that threaten all the besieged, unarmed civilians, which are mostly women and children, especially in the shadow of the acute shortage of medical supplies as several hospitals were put out of service, and many others, that serve the wounded of the regime and ISIS, are still operating
The remarkable thing is that the siege doesn't affect regime forces that ISIS claims to target as the supplies of weapons and food still are delivered to them through the Airport of Deir Ezzor. On the contrary, several sources from inside the besieged neighborhoods stressed the fact that there are expedient nets as the regime offices sell the extra foods for the civilians who can pay with multiple prices through some other civilian mediators.
Many of Deir Ezzor's activists started to sound the alarming bell in an attempt to call the attention of the public opinion and the humanitarian, regional and international bodies to this crisis that threatens the life of the besieged, which make the biggest civilian besieged assembly in Syria. The activists directed letters to the relevant international bodies; they, also, launched a campaign titled "Lift the siege of Deir Ezzor" all over the media to direct the attention the mutual expedience of the two parties that impose the siege, which makes children, men and women pay the bill of an armed conflict between two parties that disregards the human and moral principles.
