A worker pours apricot puree in a wooden mould at a Qamar Eddine factory in eastern al-Ghouta, near Damascus June 2, 2014. Qamar Eddine, a classic candy-like sheet made from dried apricot puree and baked until set, can be eaten as a sweet or used as the base for fruit soups, purees and desserts. The popular product in Syria was used as a substitute for food during the blockade by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in eastern al-Ghouta. Picture taken June 2, 2014.
