A heartbreaking interview has emerged of a young Syrian boy who says he is so hungry he and his family have been forced to eat grass to survive, Dailymail reports.
The footage shows the boy, who appears to be no older than five, in a dank stone room being interviewed by a man off camera.
With a grubby face, unkempt hair and weary brown eyes, the boy says 'yes' when he is asked: 'are you hungry, little boy?'.
And when the interviewer asks him how long it has been since he has eaten, he replies 'two days'.
Also, a Syrian activist, Mazen Burhan, said on Sunday in Madaya (Syria), that residents have been reduced to eating grass and leaves in order to survive, according to PUNCH.
He said the situation has worsened with winter snowfalls.
Burhan reiterated that the situation was hopeless as people were also helpless and dying of famine in large numbers.
“We are waiting but people are dying and the more time, the more tragedies.’’
Madaya is one of the last rebel-held areas between Damascus and the Lebanese border.
