Syria war: 'World shrugs' as 103 civilians killed in 10 days
More than 100 people, including 26 children, have died in government attacks on hospitals, schools, markets and bakeries in the past 10 days, the UN's human rights chief said.
Michelle Bachelet said the deaths were part of a "relentless campaign of air strikes by the government and its allies", including Russia.
The civilian targets were unlikely to have been accidental, Ms Bachelet said.
But the attacks were met with "apparent international indifference," she said.

Well, it's not as if the Trump regime is going to criticise Putin or his ally Assad, is it? And Boris Johnson in the UK is unlikely to take any different foreign policy line from Trump any time soon. So Putin has the green light to grind down the remaining resistance with attacks, including civilians, until they can be crushed.
