Inside Sweida with Druze militia group

The southern Syrian city of Sweida, torn apart by days of fighting, is still suffering a lack of food and fuel. Violent clashes in the region between Druze and Bedouin groups left more than 1,000 people dead.

There are allegations of executions carried out by all sides, while survivors told Channel 4 News that government troops massacred civilians.

Media are now restricted from entering the city but before then we spent four days there, hearing from those who both witnessed and took part in the fighting.

A warning, this report contains distressing testimony and images from the start.
