The deaths came after her grandmother and uncle were killed in a bombing in Syria’s ongoing war several years ago, Hammoud added. “They were only going after the places that they know 100 per cent there’s somebody there alive,” she said. “I cannot help but think if were pulled out earlier maybe they would have been alive.”Article content
Sabouni, 46, said he saw that a nearby building had collapsed and his hotel was soon shut down, forcing him to take shelter in a car with a friend for the last few days. In Syria, which includes government-held and rebel-held areas after more than a decade of war, more than 3,100 had been reported dead and more than 5,000 injured as of Thursday.Article content
