28 killed in refugee camp targeted by Assad's missiles

'There were two aerial strikes that hit this makeshift camp for refugees who have taken refuge from fighting in southern Aleppo and Palmyra.'

Humanitarian group reported airstrikes targeting a refugee camp full of innocent men, women and children during a cease-fire.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Syrian refugee camp erected near the Turkish border was targeted by missiles despite a temporary cease-fire in Aleppo.

SOHR reported the camp was located in the town of Sarmada, which is nearly 20 miles from Aleppo.

Daily Mail reported two missile strikes to Sarmada outside the camp followed by another two within it.

Tents were caught on fire, many were destroyed entirely, the earth was charred and bodies were eventually loaded into trucks.

The refugee camp held civilians running from the civil war. Abu Ibrahim al-Sarmadi, an activist who spoke to people living near the camp, explained, "There were two aerial strikes that hit this makeshift camp for refugees who have taken refuge from fighting in southern Aleppo and Palmyra."

U.S. spokesman Josh Earnest stated those staying at the camp "are in the most desperate situation imaginable, and there is no justification for carrying out military action that's targeting them."

Bashar al-Assad, Syria's president, was blamed for the attack, which was likely conducted in his pursuit of domination over the rebels.

While the government was blamed for the airstrikes, the army blamed Islamist insurgents, who the government claims to have broken the cease-fire first when they started shelling government-held residential areas of Aleppo.

Regardless of who started the fighting, it is obvious tensions remain too high for either side to adhere to calls for temporary peace and the war wages on.
