The attack on the trucks delivering humanitarian aid in Aleppo was potentially a war crime. But it's not likely anyone will go to jail for it. Is this the new normal?

Khaled Khateeb wants to show the world the heroic efforts of the White Helmets — a search-and-rescue group in Syria that's the subject of a new Netflix documentary.

The U.N. Secretary-General said he was "appalled by the chilling military escalation," and that the bombing of densely populated urban areas may amount to war crimes.

Warplanes were pounding rebel-held areas of the northern city of Aleppo, and a group of volunteer search-and-rescue workers known as the White Helmets says its centers were targeted by airstrikes.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Assad blamed the U.S. for the collapse of a fragile truce earlier this week and denied carrying out well-documented human rights abuses.

The breathtaking sadness of seeing a young boy suffering amid Syria's civil war has prompted a breathtaking offer of hospitality and friendship.

A French aid organization said its emergency medical staffers were killed near Aleppo on Tuesday, a day after the cease-fire collapsed.

The Syrian military accused rebels of violating the seven-day cease-fire and declared the truce over. Trucks carrying food and medicine to an area west of Aleppo were attacked from the air.

The attack was halted after Russia told coalition forces that dozens of regime soldiers had been killed. U.S. officials say the strike, which came during a cease-fire, was aimed at ISIS militants.

The U.N. reports there's been a significant drop in violence but that further assurances are required before aid can access those in need. At least 20 aid trucks are waiting near the Turkish border.
