Humanitarian Aid

humanitarian aid: Throughout this prolonged bloodshed and suffering, the Western powers have offered the rebels moral support, humanitarian aid and even limited amounts of weaponry but no direct military intervention, according to The Chronicle Herald. To simplify the conflict into a Hollywood good versus evil plot line, the media portrayed the Syrian rebels as pro-democracy freedom-lovers, while the government of President Bashar al-Assad was painted as evil freedom-haters and It has been 30 months since the armed conflict erupted in Syria. It has resulted in more than 100,000 killed and more than two million registering as refugees, according to the UNs refugee agency. What had seemed so simple at first became a much murkier and very complicated equation upon closer examination and over the course of time. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
