Idlib | Al-Rami
The security checkpoints all across the towns and cities of Syria are carrying out daily arrests to civilians who are being subject to the harshest types of torture under the hands of Syrian security forces in prisons. Some of these civilians come out with torture marks across their bodies or a dead corpse just like Mousa and his son Tariq, whose corpses can be seen in the following video:

Assaults and Human Rights Violations:
Homs | Al-Rastan
As soon as the bombardment comes to a halt, the citizens of Al-Rastan begin to search for the wounded and the corpses of people from in-between the rubble. This is mainly because ambulances and specialists are not able to enter city due to the siege imposed by the Syrian army forces:

Children along with their families are always suffering even in the shelters from the situation as outside from the lack of food, water and electricity; milk for infants is not available and the children are feeding on dry bread. In addition to all of this, the children have to go endure the pain each time they witness a friend has been killed:

Daraa | Daael
One of harshest sufferings which the civilians are going through in the towns and cities affected by bombardment and gunfire are in the field hospitals where the simple capabilities which they offer are sometimes not enough to cure a single wounded civilians:
