Syria: Dutch priest trapped in Homs says residents going mad with hunger - Telegraph: A Dutch priest trapped in the siege on the Syrian city of Homs has told how residents around him are being driven mad with starvation, as they are "abandoned" by the international community.
Father Frans Van der Lugt, a 75-year-old Roman Catholic and local leader in the besieged Old City in Homs, told of his community's battle for survival in two years of living in a district brutalised by war and without food.
"Our city has become a lawless jungle," said Fr Van der Lugt. "We are trying our best to behave in a fraternal way, so that we don't turn on each other for the hunger."
