Scenes of Yarmouk

   The scenes shown in Yarmouk are really changing the way people think about the war going on in Syria. The government is oppressing civilians, denying them food and supplies, and rounding them up like cattle. This changes the light we see the Syrian government in.
   Not only this, but it seems that the rebels are losing the war. The Syrian government seems to be winning the war, which has been going for years now.
   This has got me outraged. The scenes depicted of Yarmouk shows how little the Syrian government cares about their people. I believe this conduct shouldn't be allowed in a nation part of the UN in the 21st Century.
