Syrian forces backed by Russian warplanes escalated the offensive on Eastern Ghouta with a relentless bombing that killed hundreds of people within days. 

As of Monday, 561 civilians have been killed in Eastern Ghouta, according to the death toll compiled by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

185 children and 109 women were killed in the past three months, according to Anadolu's news agency reports.

Syrian government officials say "terrorists" are using civilians as human shields.

The bombing, which Amnesty International said amounted to war crimes, has damaged or destroyed six hospitals and medical centres across the city, residents say.

Nearly 400,000 civilians are trapped as Syria's government pounds the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta district with air raids and artillery.

On Tuesday morning, a five-hour "humanitarian pause" called by Russia came into effect to allow civilians to evacuate the area.
