“Twenty-two children and six teachers were reportedly murdered when their school compound was repeatedly attacked in Idlib, on October 26, Syria.
A boy, displaced from ongoing conflict in Syria.
“This is a tragedy. It is an outrage. And if deliberate, it is a war crime.
“This latest atrocity may be the deadliest attack on a school since the war began more than five years ago.
“Children lost forever to their families … teachers lost forever to their students … one more scar on Syria’s future.
“When will the world’s revulsion at such barbarity be matched by insistence that this must stop?”
