Yesterday, the world witnessed—again—the murder of innocent Syrians, including children.
We condemn these barbaric attacks with chemical weapons and the murder of innocent Syrians. We call on everyone in the world to work to find a peaceful way to resolve this conflict for the sake of Syrian citizens.
The blood of these innocent Syrian people is on the world’s conscience.
To the people of Syria, we say: we see you, we care about you, we want the killing to stop.
Let us know what we can do to help you.
