Sudden Fuel Cuts in Northern Syria Threaten Millions With Humanitarian Catastrophe Empty Sudden Fuel Cuts in Northern Syria Threaten Millions With Humanitarian Catastrophe

REYHANLI, Turkey -- Northern Syria is on the brink of disaster as widespread fuel cuts threaten mass power outages, water shortages and hospital closures. "If this goes on for a few more days, there will be a humanitarian catastrophe on all fronts," Hossam Ali, a doctor at a hospital in Aleppo, frantically told The WorldPost by phone. The hospital has spent two weeks without access to new shipments of diesel and has depleted its stores, he said. "We need electricity." Civilians living in rebel-held territory across much of Aleppo, Idlib and suburbs of Latakia and Hama in northern Syria already face the constant threat of crude barrel bombs and other attacks from the Assad regime. Now, they have to worry about surviving without fuel as well.
"Barrel bombs happen every single day in Aleppo," Ali said, his voice desperate. "Just four days ago, two barrel bombs dropped right next to the hospital. And now, we don't have any fuel left in storage."

Now if this was Israel involved, it would 24/7 news.
Disgusting how the world is doing little to help the Syrian people, though this is no doubt because some are obsessed with hating Israel. I hope the world starts to get their act together and do something to stop this likely disaster
