"The people cannot deal with this anymore. More than 80 percent of the country lives in poverty, and without work. Their factories, hospitals, schools, markets, humanitarian convoys have all been bombed... Their human rights have been bombarded. They have reached their limit. Enough is enough.”
-Msgr. Mario Zenari - Apostolic Nuncio in Damascus (Syria)

According to AVAAZ, 100 children were killed between Friday, 30 September and Sunday, 2 October.

You can sign the AVAAZ petition to world leaders to enforce an air-exclusion zone in Northern Syria, including Aleppo, to stop the bombardment of Syria’s civilians and ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those most in need.
