Stort antal döda i bombningar i Aleppo

ٍSyria Civil Defense (Arabic: الدفاع المدني السوري‎‎, SCD), also known as the White Helmets, is a grassroots, volunteer civil defense organization that operates throughout opposition-controlled Syria. It emerged in early 2013, primarily as a response to indiscriminate bombardment of civilian communities in rebel-held areas by the Syrian Arab Air Force. Since then, it has grown to a national organization of over 2850 volunteers operating from 114 local civil defense centers across 8 provincial directorates (Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Hama, Homs, Damascus, Damascus Countryside, and Daraa). SCD is credited with having rescued over 41,000 people from the rubble of destroyed buildings in the aftermath of airstrikes, artillery shelling, missile attacks and other forms of bombardment.
