Assad's Army Bombs Syrian Refugee Camp, Kills 25

One of my road dogs sent me this info as FYI, along with the Youtube video shot by a civilian journalist living in the refugee camp. You can hear the shock and disbelief in his voice as he goes around the camp area filming. Not idea yet why these people were targeted.

 

Regime helicopters targeted the Abadin camp in the rebel-controlled southern outskirts of Idlib with two barrel bombs Wednesday, resulting in 25 dead and 40 wounded, Abd Qintar, a citizen journalist in southern Idlib, told Syria Direct Thursday.

The camp, built two months ago to house 100 Syrian families displaced by fighting in the northern outskirts of Hama, “was entirely destroyed” in the bombing, Qintar said.

“Anyone who survived left for neighboring towns in rural Idlib.”

The Syrian official media did not comment on the attack.

The attack on Abadin is not the first time regime aircraft have targeted camps sheltering displaced Syrians.

In November 2012, warplanes struck Bab al-Hawa camp along the Turkish border in Idlib province, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens, reported pro-opposition daily Zaman al-Wasl.

Similarly, the Syrian air force launched a missile at a makeshift school in Qah camp in Idlib province in April, which killed a child and injured dozens more, Syria Direct reported.

Well this is interesting. Another news source also uploading same bombing today, 30 Oct dated..... says there were 75 people who died... Which seems more realistic when you look at the footage... In any case, Assad's Army bombed a refugee camp killing a bunch of refugees....

 

 

The narrative accompanying this extended footage of same area says:

 

A harrowing video has emerged showing the charred and dismembered bodies of up to 75 people killed when a Syrian regime helicopter dropped two barrel bombs on a refugee camp yesterday.
The graphic footage - filmed at a displaced persons camp in the northern province of Idlib - shows the bloodied corpses of women and children, while passers-by scramble to save the wounded.
'It's a massacre of refugees,' a voice off camera can be heard saying, while tents that act as makeshift homes burn all around him and dazed children wander the camp looking for relatives.
Barrel bombs, which are banned by international law, are crudely made containers filled with nails, metal shrapnel and explosive material that are dropped from low altitude.

The video begins with the cameraman racing up to the bombed camp on a motorcycle and finding a scene of total devastation.
'Let the whole world see this, they are displaced people. Look at them, they are civilians, displaced civilians. They fled the bombardment,' he said.

A man in another video of the Abedin camp, which houses people who had escaped fighting in neighbouring Hama province, said as many as 75 people had died.
Syrian state media did not mention the bombing. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in the civil war, said it heard reports that 10 civilians had been killed.
Details of the attack could not be independently confirmed.
Human rights groups say the Assad regime has previously dropped barrel bombs on densely populated neighbourhoods in defiance of a U.N. Security Council resolution banning their use. The United States said it was 'horrified' by the reports of the bombing while adding it could not confirm details.
'The attack on the Abedin camp was nothing short of barbaric,' State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.
'Unfortunately, if it is confirmed to be the work of the (Assad) regime, it is only the latest act of brutality by the regime against its own people,' she added.
Nearly 10 million people have been displaced by Syria's civil war, which started with pro-democracy protests but grew into an armed revolt when security forces cracked down on the demonstrations.
More than 3 million refugees have fled the country, and the conflict has killed close to 200,000 people, according to the United Nations.
