A historic building in Aleppo, Syria …. before and after Assad’s ‘reforms’.

Thanks @NMSyria

HE IS DEAD. YET HIS HAND REACHES OUT TO THE WORLD TO BE RESCUED FROM THIS PREMATURE TOMB. Aleppo (Sha’ar): Nov 21, 2012 - Even in death, the people of Syria wish to be free. And even in death, Assad’s forces still insist on eternal torment. As part of a hellish night in the Sha’ar neighborhood of Aleppo, Assad’s forces shelled the only working field clinic as well as a number of other buildings.

IF ASSAD’S FORCES DON’T FIND YOU. THEY WILL BLOW YOUR ENTIRE BUILDING UP AS ‘PUNISHMENT’ Damascus (Al Zahr Al Jadeeda): Oct 9, 2012 - Watch as Assad’s forces surround, then literally demolish this entire building by blowing it up. As part of Assad’s campaign at making live unbearable for Syrians, as if the massacres, raids, shelling, bombings, arrests and terror were not enough … his forces seek out the homes of ‘wanted’ people and destroy them.

This horrific ‘collective punishment’ has been used for months now. In other areas of Damascus Assad’s forces have been bulldozing homes and entire neighborhoods. In other area’s they have been uprooting and destroying entire crops of cactus fruit, which to hundreds of farmers, is their only source of work and income. 

What excuse will the world media, Assad supporters and leftists have now for this? That the building was a terrorist? That evil Jihadi Zionist CIA guerilla’s were stationed inside?

Thanks @SyriaArchives

***AWFUL & HEARTBREAKING*** AN ENTIRE FAMILY IS BURIED ALIVE AFTER THEIR HOUSE COLLAPSES ON TOP OF THEM FROM ASSAD’S BOMBS. Idleb (Saraqeb): Sept 15, 2012 - A child is the first to be brought out from the rubble. Local residents then sift through the rubble to find his mother, she is alive yet trapped under a massive chunk of concrete and steel. As they try to dig her out the cameraman notices the entombed body of a man, his skin color is that of the rubble around him. He declares the man dead.

He calls out for more men to come and help the woman, they gather to attempt to lift the concrete slab that weighs tons, yet their effort is futile as they need more than just their bare hands and iron wills, they need heavy equipment. The cameraman then pans back to the man whom he declared dead, apparently he is alive and people around him urge other to come help and take him away.

I do not know if the woman was pulled out alive or if the man survived the horrific ordeal.

Thanks @ANA_Feed

***HEARTBREAKING*** A MOTHER CANNOT GIVE UP. SHE SEARCHES FOR HER SON UNDER THE RUBBLE OF HER HOME. Homs (Rastan): Sept 11, 2012 - She calls out for him. She starts to lift the destroyed concrete blocks in hopes of finding him. She cannot give up. One minute she is in her home with her family, frightened and terrified as they hear the thunderous shelling by Assad’s forces. The next instant the house comes crashing down on them as Assad’s forces reach their target. Her Child.

Just as any mother … she won’t give up looking for her son. She even looks under his bed for him. (video here)

The locals must use their bare hands to dig through the rubble. (video here) & (video here)

A child being treated for injuries. His whole family was killed in the attack. (video here)

AN ENTIRE APARTMENT BUILDING COLLAPSES DUE TO THE CONTINUED ARIEL BOMBARDMENT BY ASSAD’S FORCES. Aleppo (Masaken Hanano): Sept 9, 2012 - After the building collapses, no police arrive on scene. No ambulances. No firetrucks. Emergency crews do not arrive to dig out the survivors. Tractors and cranes are not brought to the area. All of the above are controlled by Assad.

His fighter-jets bombed the building on purpose. The surviving residents and neighbors must try their best, with their bare hands to dig through the tons of rubble. 

Day by day Assad’s fighter jets and artillery destroy Syria’s largest city and all of it’s residents. 

And the world watches … or by now they have completely switched off.

In the same neighborhood, as the people gather int he marketplace the familiar sound of Assad’s jets sends people fleeing. As the jet makes it’s run and pulls up the bomb falls seconds later behind the crowd. The pilot knew full well what he was bombing here. People. (video here)

Thanks @HamaEcho

***MASSACRE*** AN AIR-STRKIE HIT THE BUILDING. AT LEAST TWO FAMILIES ARE INSIDE. 7 CHILDREN AND TWO WOMEN ARE DEAD. Aleppo (Al-Marjeh): Sept 5, 2012 - In the early hours of the morning a jet streaks overhead as it does at all hours of the day across Aleppo city. Children huddle near their mothers for comfort and protection. As the plane completes it’s run, seconds later a bomb crashes into the building and explodes, tons of concrete come cascading down on top of the women and children.

There is no chance of survival, maybe only an instant of reflection before death … “Why is Assad killing me and my children? What did we ever do to him?”

10 people were killed in this attack. 7 are children, 5 of whom are from the Qasab family along with their mother and aunt. Hiyam Qasab:5yrs old, Fatima Qasab:7yrs old, Karam Qasab: 3yrs old and Amana Qasab: 10yrs old.

They were all refugees from Maraa outside Aleppo City.

The bodies of some of the women and children. (video here)

Two children, bothe crushed to death when the building collapsed. (video here)

ASSAD’S AIR FORCE STRIKES A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN AL-BAB … A LIMP CHILD IS PULLED FROM THE RUBBLE. Aleppo (Al Bab): Sept 3, 2012 - The prospects of this tiny boy surviving such a massive, violent and brutal airstike are slim. His body is to frail to withstand the force of tons of concrete that came crashing down on him. 

Words cannot describe the will of Assad’s pilots to kill little children as they sleep in their homes and on behalf of their master.

Watch the video of the same jets attacking Al Bab a day earlier. You can clearly see the jet dive, fire it’s rockets and pull up. (video here). Another video of the same jet making another run (video here)

Thanks @freeCritic2000

***HEARTBREAKING*** TWO LITTLE CHILDREN ARE PULLED FORM THE RUBBLE OF THEIR HOME. Idleb (Abu Al Dhuoor): Aug 30, 2012 - They are amongst 45 men, women and children who died when their homes came crashing on them after Assad’s forces unleashed a hellish artillery assault on this town.

How many children across Syria have met this same fate? Crushed to death … slowly & painfully suffocating to death in a tomb in their own homes …

More people are pulled from the rubble here, here, here, here and here.

Thanks @SyrianSmurf

ANOTHER BUILDING IS DESTROYED BY ASSAD’S FORCES. ANOTHER CHILD IS DUG UP AND PULLED OUT. DEAD. Aleppo (Al-Fardos): Aug 21, 2012 - They have no equipment. They have no specialized listening devices. They have no help at all. They only have their human-instinct to help those in need. So they use their bare hands and shovels to find those buried in the rubble of this building - destroyed in an airstrike by Assad’s forces.

Finally they find a body. That of a boy. He’s entombed in the rubble. His death must have been horrific.

Thanks @farGar

BODY AFTER BODY IS PULLED FROM THE RUBBLE. THEY TRY TO REVIVE EACH ONE, BUT THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD. Daraa (Marbaa): August 17, 2012 - The children never stood a chance against the monstrous Russian weapons that attacked them and brought this building down on top of them. There was nothing their parents could do to protect them. There was no where to run. No where to hide.

Thanks @LccSy

***HORRIBLE*** A MOTHER LOSES FOUR OF HER CHILDREN AS HER HOME COLLAPSES - EACH CHILD IS DUG OUT FROM THE RUBBLE. Idleb (Shalkh): Aug 14, 2012 - She must have thought that the safety of her home would protect her little ones from the monstrous shelling by Assad’s forces. However, as we know all to well, there is no where to run or to hide in Syria from the massive Russian shells launched at Syrians across the country.

In this video one of her daughters is uncovered and pulled from the rubble. Her death must have been horrific as she was entombed in the rubble of her home.

Another child is pulled from the rubble (video here). Yet another child is pulled from the rubble (video here).

Finally the fourth child is pulled from the rubble and the mother learns that all of her children are dead. (video here)

Thanks @OmarShakir91 @EatingMyPeaz

THIS IS WHAT HOMS LOOKS LIKE FROM THE GROUND. THIS USED TO BE A CITY. Homs (Jouret Al Sheyah): July 30, 2012 - What more is there to be said? What more can I possibly add? This is what is left of this city. Every single day since the first bullet was fired by Assad’s forces at the people of Syria, till the destruction you see before you, has been fore-told by locals. It has been documented day by day. Everyday ends with a warning that the next will be worse ….

Yet the world watches and watches and watches until they lose interest … 

Thanks @InshaatReporter

THREE PEOPLE ARE CRUSHED TO DEATH WHEN THEIR BUILDING COLLAPSES ON TOP OF THEM. Homs (Jouret Al Sheyah): July 12, 2012 - Locals tried to desperately save them after this building collapsed when Assad’s forces shelled it. However, they have no police, ambulance or fire-fighting services. No hospitals, no doctors, no supplies.

They have nothing. Only shells sent by Assad’s forces to kill them.
