Children play in a shattered area in the city of Harasta in Damascus' Eastern Ghouta countryside, Syria, on March 26, 2018. The city of Harasta, which overlooks the main highway between Damascus and the central and northern region, has been declared rebel-free, after the last batch of rebels and their families left that area towards rebel-held areas in northern Syria.
