Syria: The UN human rights chief is condemning as "murderous attacks" air strikes on camps for displaced people in Syria that left at least 28 people dead, including women and children.
Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said today that the bombings a day earlier in Sarmada, in a rebel-held area near Syria's northwestern border with Turkey, appeared to be evidence of "a particularly despicable and calculated crime."
He said initial but as-yet unverified reports suggested government aircraft carried out the attacks. A Syrian military official has denied any army operation against the camp.
Zeid said: "It is hard to find any more words to describe the horror" facing Syrian civilians, noting they have been tortured in prisons, subjected to xenophobia in Europe, and bombed and killed in homes, hospitals, camps and the streets.
