Take All Actions Necessary to Provide Humanitarian Help to Syrian People Besieged by Assad Government

Created by O.L. on January 08, 2016

Syrian government has been holding civilians in multiple locations under siege for months now. People are starving and dozens have died from hunger and trying to escape. This is not only an awful crime for the standards of XXI century's society, but also a violation of Rule 53 of international law that prohibits "to starve civilians as a method of warfare."

This is not the first time Syrian government is committing such a terrible atrocity against it's own people: in 2013, it had violated international law by using chemical weapons. UN is trying to provide humanitarian help, but Syrian government prevents anyone from helping.

Sign this petition to show that American people want humanitarian help to reach besieged Syrian people no matter of political and strategical difficulties.
