Shelling: Syrian rebels accuse aviation Damascus regime of being responsible for the bombing

The international community has expressed outrage at the bombings that killed about 30 people on Thursday in a field north of refugees from Syria, considered "war crime" by the UN.

In addition, at least 73 people died in the last 24 hours in a battle between the forces of Bashar al-Assad's regime and the Frente Al-Nosra, Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda in an area south of Aleppo, said the Observatory Syrian Human rights (OSDH).

On Thursday evening, 28 civilians, including children, were killed in attacks against a camp for displaced people fleeing the fighting in the province of Idleb (northwest).

So far it was not possible to determine who was behind the bombing, near the town of Sarmada, on the border with Turkey. Aircraft regime, Russia and the international coalition led by the United States fly over Syria.

The government denied any involvement. The Syrian army had claimed that the rebels recently attacked "civilian targets" and then accuse the government of Damascus. The insurgents, however, do not have aircraft.

Russia also denied that any plane or the country of Syria have overflown on Thursday the refugee camp in the region.

"No Russian aircraft or any other flew over the area," said a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov was quoted as before noting that the refugee camp could have been the target of an attack "premeditated or accidental artillery" of jihadists front Al-Nosra.

Syrian rebels accused the aviation Damascus regime of being responsible for the bombing.

The videos released on the Internet by activists - presented as images of the tragedy - show destroyed blue tents in flames amid adult screaming and crying children.

"May God curse them"

"May God curse them," shouts someone in one of the videos.

"Where are the NGOs?" Asks another.

Many volunteers rushed to try to extinguish the flames in the devastated country. In the pictures you can also see the wounded, including many women, screaming in pain.

In another video, emergency teams put blankets over the charred bodies. Several victims lost limbs and scenes are strong.

"The bombings are a war crime," said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"These camps tents are installed in this area for several weeks and can be observed easily. It is very unlikely that the attacks have been accidental. It is much more likely to have been resolved and constitute a war crime," said Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein in a statement.

British diplomacy was declared "appalled" by the attack, which gave the Assad regime.

Stephen O'Brien, UN Secretary for Humanitarian Affairs, agreed that the attack "could constitute a war crime" and called for an immediate investigation.

The European Union called the attack "unacceptable" and the US government said that although the authorship of the Syrian regime in the bombing is not confirmed, this corresponds to "fully" to their previous operations.


The war in Syria, which since 2011 has caused more than 270,000 death, forced millions of people to flee, which caused a humanitarian tragedy that has consequences even in Europe.
