Syria crisis: Houla ‘massacre leaves 90 dead’

At least 90 people, including many children, have been killed in Syria’s restive Homs province, opposition activists say, calling it a “massacre”.

They said scores were wounded in the violence in Houla, as government forces shelled and attacked the town.

Shocking footage has emerged of the bodies of children killed as part of one the bloodiest attacks in one area since a nominal truce began in April.

The UN said its international monitors had visited the area.

France’s Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius condemned the assault, and said he was making immediate arrangements for a Paris meeting of the Friends of Syria group, which includes Western and Arab nations, but not Russia or China, who have blocked previous attempts to introduce UN sanctions.

Fighting in Syria has continued despite the deployment of some 250 UN observers monitoring a cease-fire brokered by UN envoy Kofi Annan - a ceasefire which the BBC’s Jim Muir in neighbouring Lebanon says is now “pretty fictional”.

The UN says at least 10,000 have been killed since an uprising began in March 2011 against President Bashar al-Assad’s rule …

An activist in Houla told the Associated Press news agency that troops began the assault on Houla after an anti-regime demonstration following Muslim prayers on Friday.

The assault began with artillery shelling which killed 12, he said - but scores more were butchered when pro-regime thugs known as “shabiha” then stormed the area.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 90 people had died in the 24 hours since midday on Friday.

The opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) said more than 110 people died and urged the UN Security Council to act, AFP news agency reported.

Among the dead were more than 56 children, the SNC’s Ausama Monajed told the BBC.

He said the regime was selecting vulnerable towns to “teach the entire country a lesson”.

“It is beyond humanity what we have seen,” he said.

Activists have called a day of mourning …

:’( It’s extremely hard to just read and watch about them and not do anything. All we can do is just to pray for them continuously and those who can donate or give help in any way, would do much better for your soul. May Allah SWT grant our du’a and the du’a of the oppressed. Let Allah SWT do the rest to punish the evil tyrants and oppressors. Ameen thumma ameen!

***HOULA MASSACRE*** UNITED NATIONS OBSERVERS ARRIVE THE MORNIG AFTER TO THE MOSQUE WERE THE BODIES ARE. Homs (Houla): May 26, 2012 - The UN arrived to confirm the number of dead. 92 people dead. 32 of which are children.

I am in now way blaming the UN for what happened in Houla. The blame lies 100% with Bashar Al Assad, his forces and those people that still support him and his actions. However, as in past massacres (Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Palestine), the UN’s mere presence when activists urgently called them to come to Houle just as the killing got underway could have saved many lives. Instead they showed up the morning after.

Thanks @HamaEcho
