At least 10 pepole have been killed and dozens
have been wounded on Friday evening due to Assad’s army shelling on a bazaar in
al-Wafideen refugee camp, 15 miles northeast Damascus, according to Zaman Alwasl reporter.
Most of casualties were Street
vendors from the besieged city of Douma, who used to work on Fridays in what
so-called Souq al-Jouma’a (Friday bazaar) next to the refugee camp which is a
home to 25,000 people who fled occupied Golan Heights in 1967.
The Syrian death toll rose to
140,000 people, over 7,000 of them children, the Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said on Saturday.
Syria's nearly three-year conflict
began as popular protests against four decades of Assad family rule but changed
into armed insurgency under a security force crackdown.
