NEWS FLASH
August The Deadliest Month For Syrian Civilians | The U.N. reported this month that more than 100,000 Syrians fled their country in August due to the increasing violence in the civil war there. It was the highest monthly total of refugees since the conflict began more than a year ago. PBS reports today another grim statistic. “August was the deadliest month since the Syrian rebellion began a year-and a-half ago — and more deadly for civilians than the bloodiest months in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.” (via @AzmatKhan)
