Syrian Regime Bombing Of Tent Camp Kills Six, Injures Dozens

Syrian regime forces shelled tent settlements housing families displaced by the country’s conflict in the northwest early Sunday, killing at least six people and injuring dozens.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that regime forces fired about 30 rockets toward opposition-held areas, including the Maram camp on Sunday morning killing six and wounding 25.

It added that the dead included two children and one woman.

The tent settlement, known as the Maram camp, is just northwest of the provincial capital of Idlib.

Local civil defence officials also reported that six people were killed, including two children and a woman, and 66 injured in shelling targeting at least three camps west of the capital.

The Idlib region bordering Turkey is home to about 3 million people and is one of the last pockets to oppose Damascus.

For years, the Assad regime has ignored the needs and safety of the Syrian people.

The regime has for years bombed civilian facilities such as schools, hospitals and residential areas, causing the displacement of almost half of the country's population.
