Despite a United Nations demand for a ceasefire to end Syria’s civil war fresh regime air strikes and heavy clashes shook rebel-held Eastern Ghouta on Sunday 25th February. President Bashar al-Assad’s forces launched a major bombing campaign against the enclave on the edge of Damascus a week ago, and have since killed more than 500 people.
Pakistani celebrities have now come forward demanding the genocide to stop.
Mahira Khan, Haroon Shahid, Mawra Hocane and many others took to social media to address the brutal killing of innocents in Syria, condemning the attacks.

“Open season” on #Syria currently. The events are just too, too disturbing. Latest is that the war is about to get much, much worse and bigger. May God keep the innocent in HIS protection.”

The world mourns every innocent who has lost his life to this war, another sad day, different faces but the same old barbaric tale, may the Lord have mercy upon us.
