Mumbai: Actress Esha Gupta has spoken against the ongoing crisis in Syria. She said that humanity and children were dying and it needs to be stopped.

"I don't care which country or religion or government I have, humanity is dying. The children are dying and it needs to be stopped, now Syria is bleeding," Esha tweeted alongside a photograph of an injured child.

Syrian government forces on Sunday continued their airstrikes and shelling of Eastern Ghouta, a rebel-held suburb of the capital Damascus, hours after the UN Security Council approved resolution demanding a 30-day nationwide cease-fire.

A week of intense attacks on Eastern Ghouta killed at least 510 people, including 127 minors, according to latest figures.
