More for the UN, the Friend of Syria, the anti-war (sic) protesters and anti-interventionists to celebrate as the Assad regime continues with its standard aerial and missile bombardment, mass starvation, mass rape, etc. that apparently dont qualify as war, with the help of Russia and Iran, which dont qualify as intervention... 25-11-2013: Rape is being used as a weapon of war in the Syrian conflict to such an extent that many refugee families are citing it a as a primary reason to flee, according to a new report. The study of the nearly 600,000 people who have fled the country since the start of the civil war stated it was a staggering humanitarian disaster. On top of those in neighbouring countries, mainly Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq, 2.5 million had fled their homes but remained in Syria, while 4 million people were in need of help. The extent of the bloodshed, devastation, displacement and suffering inside Syria cannot be easily or precisely measured, but it is certainly extraordinary in its magnitude, and it is steadily worsening, the report for the US-based International Rescue Committee said. Millions of Syrians are in desperate need and have little if any access to humanitarian relief. ...A major regime push on southern and eastern suburbs of Damascus, which have been fought over for months, has killed scores of people in the last few days alone, including eight children and five women in an air strike on Monday morning. The regime has taken to using an ever more extreme array of weaponry. In recent weeks it has begun employing Scud missiles – unguided land-to-land missiles – and, most recently, land-fired cluster bombs, on top of the aerial cluster bombs it has been dropping for several months, according to Human Rights Watch.
