40,000 starving Syrians trapped by Assad regime forced to make soup from grass because they’ve 'eaten every stray cat and dog in the city.
Up to 40,000 people in the besieged Syrian settlement of Madaya have been forced to turn to leaves and flower petals to stay alive after eating all of the town's stray dogs and cats.
Soldiers loyal to Syria's embattled president Bashar al-Assad and members of the Lebanese militia Hezbollah continue to surround the city, cutting off fresh supplies of food and drink and preventing citizens from escaping by filling the surrounding countryside with landmines.
One image shared on Facebook appears to show a desperate citizen preparing to slit the throat of a cat while other photos show malnourished children eating a broth made of olive tree leaves and water.
Dr Mohamad Youssef, who acts as the manager of the medical council in Madaya, told SKy News that two or three residents are dying of starvation every day.Soldiers loyal to Syria's embattled president Bashar al-Assad (pictured) and members of the Lebanese militia Hezbollah have besieged Madaya for six months Source

In Hongkong
Hong Kong Queen Elizabeth Sinks Jan. 9th, 1972 : The Seawise University Ship sunk into a Hong Kong Harbor despite two days worth of effort to put out a fire that had caused this wreck. This ship was formerly named the Queen Elizabeth, and was considered to be the largest passenger steamship at the time of its creation in 1938.
This ship had changed hands a couple of times since it was first put in operation. For instance, it was sent to New York during World War II to protect it from German bombs. Shortly after this time it was used to transport war soldiers.
When Queen Elizabeth’s name was changed, it was owned by a businessman who decided to open up a floating college on board. This was when it was called Seawise University.
It was actually inevitable that this ship would start on fire, however. Before it was sold to C.Y. Tung (the person who transformed it into a college) it was declared to be a fire hazard. This was some time after the ship was turned into a tourist attraction and hotel in Philadelphia (Before Mr. Tung purchased it).
