Syria: The lives – and tragic deaths – of children in the war-torn country

in #syeria7 years ago

The deaths have been caused by all sides in the conflict. A report by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon blamed "indiscriminate and disproportionate aerial bombings and ground attacks" on areas with large civilian populations by government forces, opposition fighters and "terrorist" groups. Geoffrey Mock, a Middle East specialist at Amnesty International, said both government forces and insurgents have used "weapons that are guaranteed to cause civilian damage".
