Time Washington: Contingency Plan and American Warships

time washington: American warships launched almost 60 missiles at a military air base in central Syria, killing nine people, according to CTV. It marked the first time Washington has directly targeted Syrian government forces since the country's civil war began in 2011. The policy director at World Vision Canada said Saturday that his agency is planning for a new wave of people fleeing Syria, out of concern that Thursday's American military intervention could escalate. With that in mind, Fischer said, he and his team have to ask themselves a number of questions in order to adjust their contingency plan. The important thing is to recognize is that if airstrikes happen, it doesn't automatically mean that people just from those areas move, but it instills a sense of fear into people that really, there's going to be more fighting. Where could military action escalate What kind of populations are still in those areas And if there were some sort of military action, how would that transpire into people moving across the border into various countries he said, speaking from Amman, Jordan.
