Residents of Syria's Eastern Ghouta are "mocking" a so-called ceasefire in the area, as bombardments by the Syrian government and their principal ally, Russia, continue, according to doctors and local activists.
At least five civilians were killed on Thursday in attacks on several towns in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta - a suburb of the capital Damascus - activist Abdelmalik Aboud told Al Jazeera from the town of Douma.
