Insomniac, glum and dejected @BBCNews contacts in #EastGhouta:
'situation beyond critical. Eastern front has collapsed. #SAA & Iraqi militias are near Ash' ari & about to take over Beit Nayem.
Jaysh Al-Islam retreated into population centres. Road to #Hammouriyeh exposed.'
#Misraba rebels in #Eastern_Ghouta are now in talks with regime forces to surrender the town and withdraw. In return, it would be spared. Deal is expected 2 go through of nothing changes.
This would clearly road for regime forces towards #Harasta, effectively cutting #Ghouta in 2
The town of #Misraba in #Eastern_Ghouta is currently being evacuated. Most people have refused to stay behind when regime takes over.
Negotiations are led by Muhieddine Manfoush, #Ghouta's multi-millionaire profiteer merchant and Misraba native.
A prisoner exchange deal has been reached between @jaishalislam and #HTS in #Eastern_Ghouta. Jaysh kicking off the release of over 200 HTS prisoners.
Jaysh Al-Islam advising #Eastern_Ghouta cameramen filming UN convoy 'against shooting continuous stream' of aid trucks moving in, but rather 'shoot every 4-5 vehicles in one sequence'.
This was confirmed earlier. Up to 15 trucks, most still fully loaded, had to withdraw to safety outside #Eastern_Ghouta as shelling and airstrikes intensified. Aid distribution cut short.
