Syria conflict: Children ‘targeted by snipers’
More than 11,000 children have died in
Syria’s civil war in nearly three years, including hundreds targeted by
snipers, a new report says. The report says the majority of
children have been killed by bombs or shells in their own neighbourhoods.
Of the 11,420 victims aged 17 and under, 389 were killed by
sniper fire. Some 764 were summarily executed, and
more than 100 – including infants – were tortured, the report says. Report
co-author Hana Salama said that the way children are being killed is
disturbing.
