Syrian Network for Human Rights & Damascus Centre for Human Rights Studies Violation Report for Saturday, 21 July, 2012
Casualties and wounded:
Homs | Al-Rastan
Two new children have joined the ranks of the dead children in Al-Rastan in the province of Homs; the province which has now been under constant bombardment for over 40 days by the regimes’ forces. This indiscriminate bombardment took the lives of Shams and Mohammad Makhzoum, son and daughter of the wounded father who can be seen on the floor of a field hospital while doctors are trying to treat his wounds. The video also shows the corpses of the children; Mohammad who citizens tried to rescue but failed and Shams, whose head is completely distorted (Very Graphic):

Assaults and Human Rights Violations:
Homs | Al-Rastan
The people of Al-Rastan especially doctors in field hospitals and most importantly wounded children needing treatment are suffering from the daily shortage in medical treatment and the small capabilities of the field hospitals. The following video shows a wounded child who needs a high level surgery using high level devices and medical equipment which are not available for these field hospitals created by the citizens:

Daraa | Al-Museifra
The blockade imposed by the regimes’ forces on the towns, villages and cities of Daraa are creating huge amounts of suffering between the citizens since ambulance vehicles and Red Crescent and Cross services are unable to enter. In addition to this, the wounded are being treated under conditions which do not suit their injuries as can be seen in the following video where beds are unavailable for the wounded:

The regimes’ military campaign is still ongoing in Damascus, focusing on Al-Median neighbourhood which is still suffering by the heavy bombardment that left considerable amounts of destruction in the homes and property of the people.
