Assad humanity crimes with hunger strategy or surrender

Bashar al-Assad's loyal forces in Syria have committed crimes against humanity, through their “Wish hunger strategy or surrender”, while their sieges have destroyed opposition-controlled areas.

This is the conclusion of the “Amnesty International” report, following a extensive study over the past months in Syria. The report examines four agreements between the Assad regime and the opposition in Aleppo, Homs, Darayya, as well as the pact for the exchange of four surrounded towns, which brought the violent shift of tens of thousands of civilians after years of siege and bombing.

The report blames all sides in the conflict for violating international law, but stresses that the regime's strategy prohibiting food and aid from going to civilian areas, while aircraft bombarded them, is war crime and crime against humanity.

“In essence, the agreements enabled the government to regain control of the territory, first by starving and then by driving out residents who opposed its rule”, it is written in the report.

Currently it is believed that over half a million civilians continue to live in areas surrounded in Syria, and humanitarian organisations call for immediate intervention to save them from terrible suffering.

But Bashar al-Assad strategy is still in operation and the international community is doing nothing to stop it.
