Free Fall in Syria

In the Newspaper The New York Times there's an article called Three Years of Strife and Cruelty Put Syria in Free Fall published on March 17, 2014. The article talks about how the Syrian civilians are fleeing into other countries in order to escape from the conflict.

It's now the fourth year since Syrians revolted in a peaceful way and turned out into a civil war between the government and the people. The government attacks the people in such a violent way that is opening a miserable path for the Syrian country.

There has been videos and photos of all the amazing atrocities that Syrian civilians are going through. According to The New York Times, "They capture appalling suffering on video and beam the images out to the world: skeletal infants, body parts pulled from the rubble of homes, faces stretched by despair, over and over."
