CNN: UNICEF Issues Blank Statement as Words Fail Syria’s Horror

RUSH EXCERPT:
WEDEMAN: "I think it just reflects their utter frustration with the fact that the situation in Syria has gone from bad to worse and in the words of U.N. Secretary general Guttierez to hell on Earth. There have been endless attempts to try to somehow bring this war to an end, but no one either has the will or the ability to do so. And what we’ve seen in the last three days is an unrelenting bombardment by Syrian air strikes, barrel bombs, missiles, rockets, mortars on this suburb of Damascus which has been held by the rebels roughly since 2012. The death toll so far in these three days is at least 300. Many of them women and children. The Red Cross says that the medical supplies in the area are perilously low, that wounded are dying because doctors and nurses are simply overwhelmed. Now, we’ve heard for instance the French president Emmanuel macron, the Red Cross, calling for an immediate humanitarian cease fire to allow supplies into evacuate hundreds of people who are in desperate need of medical care. The Russians are calling for an emergency meeting of the Security Council. But so far it is all words. But there is another indication of what may be to come. Today Damascus newspaper reported that Syrian forces are preparing for a final offensive to retake this area which has about a population at this point of about 400,000 people. And they say they will do so within days. And if that comes to pass, Brooke, what we’re seeing now may be just the beginning of hell."
