While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

The aerial bombardment also resulted in destroying people's public and private properties as well as it left huge material damages in several areas and displaced dozens of thousands of people.
The explosive barrels and air raids also resulted in the death of 708fighters from the Nusra Front, IS, rebel and Islamic battalions while other hundreds fighters were wounded.
SOHR renews its appeal to UN Security Council to assume its responsibilities and work on using its power in order to stop the daily killing committed against the Syrian people and destroying their social structure, coexistence, past, present and future by using all kind of weapons, whether they are firearms or media, where the Syria helicopters intensified and concentrated on using explosive barrels in the last six months Despite the adoption of resolution 2139 by the Security Council, where the most important mission of this resolution is to maintain the international peace and security.
