CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10. Give us 10 minutes, we'll give you an explanation of news events happening around the world.

That includes what's going on right now in the Middle Eastern nation of Syria. For the first time in two weeks, a convoy¹ of 46 trucks was able to get in and out of eastern Ghouta. This is a suburb of eastern capital of Damascus. It's an area controlled by a rebel group that's fighting the government in Syria's ongoing² civil war.

The rebels in eastern Ghouta have been surrounded for years and many of the civilians³ who are there, there are hundreds of thousands of them are desperately⁴ in need of humanitarian⁵ aid, like food and medical supplies. A representative for the United Nations says the convoy was inside eastern Ghouta for almost nine hours but that the trucks had to leave before they were all unloaded. Fighting was going on in the area at the time and nine of the trucks returned still full of supplies.

A little over two weeks ago, Syrian government forces who are supported by Russia launched a major offensive in eastern Ghouta. Hundreds of people have been killed since then. The Syrian government says that shells launched from rebels in eastern Ghouta had killed dozens of people in Damascus.

This is supposed to be a de-escalation zone, a place where civilians won't be targeted by anyone fighting in the war. But the violence is all around them.

JOMANA KARADSHEH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: There's no sign of a ceasefire or that so-called humanitarian pause in fighting that was ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin in eastern Ghouta. The accounts that we're getting from on the ground from activists⁶ and rescue groups, they say that airstrikes and artillery⁷ shelling continue to pound different parts of that rebel-held territory.

Both sides are continuing to blame each other for the failure of any truce⁸. You've got the regime on the one hand saying it is the rebel groups that they described as terrorist groups operating in eastern Ghouta that are targeting the routes that would lead to the humanitarian corridor to sop⁹ civilians from leaving so that they could continue to hold them as hostages and as human shields, according to the regime. On the other hand, the rebels and the activists say it is the Russians and it is the regime who are continuing to carry out these strikes on different parts of this area, including areas close to the humanitarian corridor.

When it comes to the civilians, the population in eastern Ghouta from what we've heard in the past few days, they say they don't want to leave their homes. They don't want to leave the area. What they want is for the bombing to stop and for humanitarian aid to come in. With no end in sight to the violence that we're seeing in eastern Ghouta, the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies are calling yet again, they're still calling for a ceasefire, they say, so they can deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid into the area and to evacuate¹⁰ those who are in urgent need of medical attention, people — a population that's estimated to be about 400,000 people living in this area, under siege for nearly five years.
