WARNING - THIS EDIT CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

Bloodied corpses wrapped in white shrouds lie on the ground in the Syrian town of Douma, just northeast of the capital Damascus.

Reuters cannot independently verify the content of this video - posted onto a social media website and said to be shot on Friday.

Much of the content of this and a similar video said to be from Thursday is too graphic to be shown.

One hundred and 90 people were allegedly killed on Thursday in one of the deadliest days of Syria's 16 month uprising with around 50 of them said to be from Douma.

The town has been under siege for weeks by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.

This video purportedly shows a helicopter attack on Douma.

Syria's revolt has grown bloodier in recent weeks as the army intensifies its onslaught and rebels gain access to heavier weapons.

But months of international diplomatic wrangling has failed to produce an effective agreement to solve the crisis thus far.
