Activists have disclosed that 200 civilians in Syria have died from barrel bomb attacks during the past two days, carried out by the army of President Bashar al-Assad, the Christian Post website reports today (June 1, 2015).
While Assad has denied responsibility, a UN envoy has condemned the bombings as "totally unacceptable."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that 71 civilians -- including women and children -- were killed by bombs dropped by Asad's Helicopters on May 30 alone in the northern province of Aleppo.
UN envoy Staffan de Mistura said that it was "totally unacceptable that the Syrian air force attacks its own territory in an indiscriminate way, killing its own citizens."
