废墟中的叙利亚

当世界的目光集中在与朝鲜可能发生的战争的时候，真正的战争正在叙利亚进行。2013年3月，是叙利亚开战以来最严峻的里程碑月份。两年前，敌对行动开始以来，战争难民已经逾万;这个月也是迄今为止最血腥的一个月，超过6000人死亡。无论是亲阿萨德势力，也无论是最近扩展了大量土地的叛军，国际机构停止流血的调解努力很少或根本没有进展。下面的照片来自过去六周的叙利亚，显示了一些在阿勒颇，代尔铝佐尔，霍姆斯，德拉，伊德利卜，大马士革的破坏情况

Syria in Ruins

While much of the world’s attention focuses on a possible war with North Korea, the war currently being fought in Syria grinds on. March of 2013 was a month of grim milestones in Syria. It marked two years since the start of hostilities; the number of war refugees passed one million; and it was was the bloodiest month to date, with more than 6,000 people killed. Neither the pro-Assad forces, nor the group of rebels opposing them have gained much ground recently, and little or no progress has been made by international agencies to halt the bloodshed. The following photographs come from across Syria, taken over the past six weeks, showing just some of the devastation in Aleppo, Deir al-Zor, Homs, Deraa, Idlib, and Damascus. [38 photos]
