Syrian Civilians want more from UN

The Islamist State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has beheaded seven men and three women to frighten residents resisting its advance in northern Syria, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday. “They’re killing us on the Turkish border; that makes us very angry. There’s no humanity from Turkey, no humanity from Europe or anywhere else in the world,” Maslum Bergadan, who fled to Turkey, was quoted as saying by Reuters. He said two of his brothers had been captured by ISIS fighters. The United Nations on Thursday said ISIS has committed mass killings, kidnapped women and girls and used them as sex slaves and employed children as fighters, in systematic violations that may amount to war crimes.

The civilians of Syria are getting fed up of living in fear and do not believe the UN is doing enough to actually help them from the Isis threat. This is accurately illustrated by this cartoon.
