چکیده
More than 270 000 people are trapped in east Aleppo with dwindling supplies of food, water and fuel. Humanitarian organizations have not been allowed to deliver aid, including medical supplies from WHO since the besiegement of the city on 7 July.

Fewer than 30 doctors remain in the east of the city, and only 6 partially-functional hospitals are in service.
