Douma is a town about 10 kilometers from the center of Damascus. Currently under the control of Syrian rebels, it has seen heavy fighting. Reuters photographers captured everyday life among the ruins, and were also there during air strikes. Local activists have blamed the attacks on Syrian and Russian planes.
