Child malnutriti­on levels in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta region, which has been under government siege since 2013, are at the highest recorded so far in the six-year civil war, Unicef said.

The UN body said a survey in the rebel-held area outside Damascus showed 11.9 per cent of children aged under five had acute malnutriti­on.
