The 9-month-old Syrian baby Huseyin Makdah died on Friday – 20 days after he was added into the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) team’s urgent evacuation list. The photo of him lying on a bed and looking into the camera with desperate sights, deeply moved many. He had just received medical help in late November. /CFP Photo

Makdeh is only one of the babies who have died of malnutrition in the Syrian regime forces sieged district – the Eastern Ghouta region of the capital, Damascus. Residents in the region are struggling with food supplies and medicines. /CFP Photo

Enes Abu Yasir, a doctor and the manager of a local clinic, told Anadolu Agency that Makdeh had weighed only four kilograms before he died of malnutrition. /CFP Photo

"He also had a chin deformity and therefore had difficulty drinking milk," Abu Yasir said. /CFP Photo
