The government of Bashar al-Assad has been accused of bombing a Syrian refugee camp near the Turkish border, in an attack that activists and officials said left dozens of civilians dead and wounded. The airstrikes on Thursday afternoon near Sarmada, a town in Idlib province just 20km away from Reyhanli, left the camp in ruins, with one witness describing a scene of horror, with tents on fire and body parts strewn around the area.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group with contacts inside Syria, said dozens had been left dead or wounded, seven of whom were children.
2: On April 21 the Western and Gulf backed “High Negotiations Committee” announced they were quitting the Geneva negotiations. The next day, hundreds of mortars and bombs started being launched into western Aleppo from the zones controlled by Nusra and other terrorist groups.
These bombs are powerful, wounding and killing indiscriminately. Syrian journalist Edward Dark noted that western media and groups such as MSF were silent on this even though hospitals were being hit, dozens of children and civilians killed. On twitter he reported day by day ….
“West Aleppo is simply being obliterated by rebel shelling. A city of 2 million people is being butchered.”
“Carnage and devastation as ‘moderate rebel’ bombs fall on west Aleppo like rain”
“Terrorist rebel bombs are still falling like rain on west Aleppo. 15 people murdered at a mosque in Bab Faraj after Friday prayers”
“This is the hospital where my son was born. Dabeet Hospital in W.Aleppo completely destroyed by rebel shelling.”
Has MSF denounced these killings and attacks on hospitals in western Aleppo?
4: There are many discrepancies in reports about the April 27 attack on Al Quds Hospital. MSF Middle East Operations Manager Pablo Marco, interviewed the next day on CNN and PBS Newshour, said “there were two barrel bombs that fell close to the hospital …. then the third barrel bomb fell in the entrance of the hospital”.
Barrel bombs are only delivered by helicopters. In contrast, your press release the same day says “the hospital was destroyed by at least one airstrike which directly hit the building, “reducing it to rubble.”
A CBC report continued this version, claiming “An MSF-supported hospital in the northern Syria city of Aleppo is now a pile of rubble. Airstrikes brought down the building on Wednesday.”
The hospital photograph indicates it is not a “pile of rubble” and it’s unclear where the damage is. The sandbag reinforcement and damaged car in front indicate it might have been a battle scene but the rest is unclear. Which story is correct and accurate?
The number of fatalities has varied from initial death counts of 14 to later reports of over 50. How are these numbers verified?
Go watch the vid .You don't see refugees .All you see it tents and a few people that may or not be refugees .Look at the remains of the tent .Frame is not bent or broken .Look at the tents next to it .No signs of damage .A poorly produced piece of propaganda is a better or easier believable story . At least it would be more consistent to believe that seeing all of the other bogus pieces being peddled by the MSM .
Why is it so hard to believe that he'd attack a refugee camp?

Assad has been bombing and killing his own people since this started.
Why is it so hard to believe that he'd attack a refugee camp? Probably considers them all traitors anyway. They just bombed a hospital earlier in the week didn't they?

dozens were killed and wounded in Aleppo on Tuesday when rockets fired by rebel fighters hit a government maternity hospital, as tit-for-tat violence escalated in the bitterly contested city.
It's pointless debating with these people, they're either mentally defective or just propagandists.
