| Subject: 'Thank' the statists: Starving Syrians Ate Grass to Live, Survivor Says Mon Jan 18, 2016 3:54 am | |
| After they'd emptied their cupboards and eaten the last of the donkeys and cats, the people of the besieged Syrian town of Madaya began cooking grass. For nearly three weeks, that was nearly all Um Ali, a grandmother in her 60s, ate. When she begged pro-government troops to leave in search of food, they threatened to shoot her, Um Ali told NBC News. She ran anyway, slipping past snipers down a fog-shrouded road with her daughter-in-law and crossing the border into Lebanon, leaving behind five children aged 15 to 30. She later heard that a family of six had been killed on the same route the day after her escape.
