Earlier today 6 red cross workers and 1 volunteer were abducted in Syria in the red crescent.
 There is no definite abductor yet, although the rumor is that they were taken by anti-governmet rebels. 22 red cross workers have died helping since the beginning of this war.

2 car bombs went off near the state TV building in Damascus.
There is currently no word on wether or not anyone died in these bombings.

It has been estimated that over 100,000 people have died since this war began in March 2011.
That's hundreds of thousands of people mourning the loss of people they loved.

A while back there was a bombing at a school in Syria, it was done by the Syrian government. It killed ten children, and left many with over 50% of their bodies covered in burns.
These children were in school when a fighter jet circled over head and dropped a bomb on the school. As of 2 weeks ago there was still many horrendously affected by this appalling act against humanity.
