The BBC's Lyse Doucet reports from Syria's border with Lebanon: ''In Syria, food is a weapon of war''
The desperate wait for aid is a matter of life or death for the starving residents of the besieged Syrian town of Madaya .
People there are reported to have been dying of hunger, and eating pets, leaves and grass to survive.
Syrians and Lebanese have been protesting to draw attention to Madaya's plight - while relatives across the border can only watch and hope the aid comes not too late.
