Social Justice Project Bullet Point #4

I watched a 60 Minutes report on hunger in the Syrian war zone where Kurds, the Islamic Front, ISIS and Bashar Al-Assad are having a four-way civil war. The effects of Assad's military crimes are brutal. He lays siege on cities for years until people starve to death. The UN is having a hard time helping, too. In one instance, the UN spoke to Assad and they mutually agreed to let aid workers into a city that had been under siege for over 300 days to evacuate people and give them food. When the aid workers entered the city, they were met with sniper shots and mortar shells.

Bashar Al-Assad's injustices are horrible. He gasses entire cities simply for speaking out against him. He restricts aid workers from helping those in need from his tyrannical practices from helping. His outspoken military plans are to crush the enemy with hunger. A phrase popped up in the Eisenhower administration "No one deserves to starve." Yet Assad thinks that cities of people he hasn't even addressed individually do. These war crimes and extremely unfair.
