Syria : The Story in Pics - Album 01
Nearly a 2+ years after Syria's uprising began back in the Arab Spring, it has devolved into a violent civil war with fractious rebel forces like Free Syrian Army continuing their efforts to remove President Bashar al-Assad from power. According to Human Rights Watch Report of UN released on 22 January 2014, more than 1,30,000 people were killed in Syrian conflicts with in the last 3 years and more than 85% of their population were fled as refugees to neighbor nations or internally displaced.
Press Photographers recently re-transmitted a collection of images from the Syrian conflict. It remains an incredibly dangerous situation for working journalists who document the ongoing conflict and the conditions of those living in constant danger and with constant risk.
