UPDATE: Our investigators have gathered testimonials + vital information.

Syria: This work is critical and lifesaving. You can help.

Dear John,

“Everything happened so fast. There were four killed, including two children. I couldn’t tell if they were boys or girls because their corpses were black. They looked like charcoal.”

EMERGENCY UPDATE: Amnesty investigators in Syria have gathered countless witness testimonies — like this one — from rescue workers, civilians, and journalists. We are also analyzing and verifying video footage — and reviewing medical reports and other documentation.

The vital information our investigators gathered provides damning evidence of indiscriminate attacks in residential areas — including attacks on a home, a bakery, and a school — carried out by Turkey and allied Syrian armed groups.

John, this work is critical and lifesaving. But we urgently need your support to keep our teams on the ground — researching war crimes and demanding safety for people trapped in the chaos of this war.

Please make your emergency donation today. Any amount — no matter how big or small — will make a difference.

The Turkish military offensive into northeast Syria has wreaked havoc on the lives of Syrian civilians — who once again have been forced to flee their homes and are living in constant fear of indiscriminate bombardment, abductions, and killings. We will not abandon them.

Your emergency donation will be put to work immediately — as we demand safety for civilians and document the truth about what is happening to children and families in Syria.

Thank you for your compassion and attention.
