" It is unconscionable that yet another medical facility was directly targeted and put out of service. Where are these innocent civilians supposed to go for medical care and emergencies if all of the medical facilities are getting bombed? Thousands of civilians took to the streets today calling on the international community to apply the UN charters guaranteeing protection and imploring the international community to intervene such as the UNGA "Uniting for Peace" resolution 377 A, stating that the international community can intervene in an impending humanitarian disaster. The time is NOW for the international community to intervene!" Said Dr. Hussam Al Fakir, Chairman of UOSSM Intl.
