The Syrian civil war has been going on for years and there has been constant force and violence used by both sides. This past week, the country had urged the United Nations to help condemn the rebels after a chemical attack was carried out on the city of Aleppo, sending a number of victims to hospitals.
Medics reported floods of patients with breathing problems, inflammation in the eyes, and other symptoms after a shelling attack on Saturday that had been blamed on the rebels by Syrian and Russian officials. The Syrian State News Service (SANA) said that more than 100 people had been affected by this attack, thankfully no deaths. Although there have been a reported 100 people affected, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based out of Britain, released a statement that only 46 people were affected by the gas attack, 8 of them being children.
In my opinion the United Nations needs to step in and help resolve the Syrian conflict that has been going on for the past 7 years. Thousands of citizens and migrants have been affected by it and it is still continuing today. I believe that Syria and Russia need to begin using force to prevent the rebels from carrying out more attacks on the people and to help the country become stable again as it is obvious that doing nothing or trying to reach an agreement is doing nothing what so ever and possibly even just making things worse. Also, Russia and Syria should seek help from allies to try and overpower and humble the rebels to avoid conflict to show them that they are going against a far stronger force and explain to them that if they keep up their actions they will face harsh consequences that they will not be able to fight back against or overpower.
