(CNN) The horrors of life in rebel-held eastern Aleppo are worsening, residents say, describing acute food shortages and increased aerial bombardment in the battle for control of the key Syria city. Another resident, Salem Ahmed, said no humanitarian corridors had been opened -- but he would not leave even if they were. Ten of those were in rebel-held neighborhoods in eastern Aleppo, voluntary rescue group Syria Civil Defense said, with fatalities expected to rise due to the lack of medical equipment. Abu Nizar Firas, a resident of eastern Aleppo, said the corridors were not safe, and it was impossible for young men to leave. The price of tomatoes has risen by four times, residents say.
