What statism puts people through: Eating plants, not looking in the mirror: how one woman survived 700 days of blockade in Syria

Zeinat Akhras, a 65-year-old pharmacist, still bears the effects of nearly two years trapped in her home, surrounded by rebel fighters during the government's siege on the ancient quarters of the central Syrian city of Homs. She's still a wispy 38 kilograms, even after gaining four kilograms since the blockade ended in early May with the fall of the rebels in the city.

"Every day, we said it will end tomorrow," Akhras said. "If we counted the number of days, we would have given up."
