Russia and Bashar al Assad regime are killing civilians and Syrian children indiscriminately in Aleppo, media repots and UN officials.
“The children of Aleppo are trapped in a living nightmare,” said UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Justin Forsyth.
“There are no words left to describe the suffering they are experiencing,” he added.
Some media reports called the barrage of bombs on Aleppo as genocidal attacks.
According to UNICEF, At least 96 children have been killed and 223 have been injured in eastern Aleppo since Friday.
The UN agency further said that the health system in eastern Aleppo is “crumbling” with just 30 or so doctors left, hardly any equipment or emergency medicine to treat the injured, and an ever increasing number of trauma cases.
The UN agency added that according to doctors on the ground, children with low chances of survival are too often left to die due to limited capacity and supplies.
“Nothing can justify such assaults on children and such total disregard for human life. The suffering – and the shock among children – is definitely the worst we have seen,” underscored Mr. Forsyth in a statement.
