(PHOTOS+VIDEO) Bomb Dropped On School In Syria; Many Children Killed, Burned by Codedrock(m): 11:45am On Aug 31, 2013
Click here for more pics. Horrific footage has emerged showing the aftermath of a"napalm-like bomb" being dropped on a Syrian school, in an attack reported to have killed 10 children and left scores more with appalling burns. [Scroll down for videoWARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES] Witnesses told a team from the BBC's Panoramaprogramme that a fighter jet had repeatedly flown over the school in northern Syria, as if searching for a target, before dropping the bomb. The shocking footage came to light just hours after David Cameron suffered a historic Commons defeat when MPs voted against bombing Syria. The disturbing film shows a school playground - where pupils had been playingat the end of the school day - reduced to rubble and scorched earth after the incendiary bomb was dropped. Abandoned children's shoes and a ruined set of swings are seen among the debris, and pupils were reported to have been left"writhing in agony" from burns caused by the bombwhich probably contained something like napalm or thermite. Many of the victims suffered burns to more than 50% of their bodies, and adults and children are shown being treated on the floor of a basic hospital. One young boy is seen caked in a white substance and shaking uncontrollably as he waits for help. Others are covered in bloody burns, gasping out for water, and distraught parents cry hysterically as they see what hashappened to their loved ones. The school's headmaster told reporters: "This was the most horrific thing. We have seen images on TV, we have heard many stories, but we haveneverseen anything like this before. The worst thing in life is watching someone die right in front of you and you can't do anything. There were dead people, peopleburning and people running away, but where to? Where would they go? It is not safe anywhere. Thatis the fate of theSyrian people." A British medic, Dr Rola, who was in Syria with the charity Hand In Hand, treated the victims at the hospital. She said:"It is just absolute chaos and carnage here. We have had a massive influx of what looks likeserious burns, seems like it mustbe some sort of, not really sure, maybe napalm, something similar to that. "But obviously within the chaos of the situationit is very difficultto know exactly what is going on." Later, struggling to hold back tears, she said: "We feel like some sort of, not even a secondclass citizen, like we just don't matter.Like all of these children, and all of these people who are being killed and massacred, we don't matter. "The whole world has failed ournation and it is innocent civilians who are paying the price." Mohammed Abdullatif, who witnessed the attack, had a message for the United Nations. "Dear United Nations, you are calling peace, you are calling for peace. What kind of peace are you calling for? Don't you see this, don't you see this? What do you need to see? "We are just human beings, we want to live. It is our right to live," he said. http://www./photosvideo-bomb-dropped-on-school-in-sy.xhtml
