We've previously geolocated this video to the roof of the building the Russian military visited, and where many bodies were found after the Douma chemical attack https://t.co/1Dos4Os00E

Hugely disappointing that Russia vetoed the proposal at the UN for an independent investigation into Syrian chemical attacks. Russia is holding the Syrian people to political ransom by supporting a regime responsible for at least 4 heinous chemical attacks against its people

One year since Khan Shaykhoun, and the Syrian regime has shown no greater willingness to respect its most basic international obligations. The inhumanity of these attacks should not be forgotten or forgiven. https://t.co/8ZQ4U2r2Bh

[UN Syria Commission of Inquiry @UNCoISyria]

One year ago today, in one of the gravest incidents we ever documented, the #Syria-n air force dropped #sarin in Khan Sheikhoun #Idlib, killing dozens, the majority of whom were women & children. Our inquiry & detailed findings available here (A/HRC/36/55) https://t.co/yturJDb87t

تدين كندا بشدة الهجمات المتزايدة والمتعمدة ضد الأبرياء الفتيات والأولاد والنساء والرجال في #الغوطة الشرقية. هذا الاستهداف المتعمدة للمدنيين والعاملين في المجال الطبي وعاملي الإنقاذ والعاملين في المجال الانساني هو مروع. #سوريا 2/ https://t.co/v9JZey87Bx

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

Shocked at what I saw during tour of northern #Rakhine. The devastation of hundreds of villages torched. UK already a major donor to crisis and will continue to use our influence to provide a better future for the #Rohingya community.

.@PennyMordaunt : “My absolute priority is to keep the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people safe from harm. In the 21st century, it is utterly despicable that sexual exploitation and abuse continues to exist in the aid sector."

[Robin Wettlaufer @alkanadiyya]

Another health center targeted. Is nothing sacred??? #NotATarget https://t.co/Ee2mywPgle

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

Held talks with Aung San Suu Kyi. Discussed importance of Burmese authorities in carrying out full & independent investigation into the violence in #Rakhine & urgent need to create the right conditions for #Rohingya refugees to return to their homes in Rakhine.

[Robin Wettlaufer @alkanadiyya]

Saddened to hear of the death of Asma Jihangir. I had the honour to meet with her a number of times in Pakistan, and Canada was proud to support her work. She was a principled and tireless defender of human rights, undeterred by critics and threats https://t.co/JYGeidVXyz

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

Visited Cox's Bazar in #Bangladesh to meet Rohingya families and hear first hand the persecution they have suffered. Experience has strengthened my commitment to work with international partners to improve their lives.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

Appalled by explosion in #Kabul today. Third serious attack in #Aghanistan in one week - the Afghan people deserve peace.

[DFID @DFID_UK]

.@PennyMordaunt: Horrific attack against @Save_Children office in #Jalalabad #Afghanistan, my thoughts & deepest condolences to all affected. I strongly condemn the appalling targeting of humanitarian & development workers who are giving lifesaving support to vulnerable people.

[ICRC @ICRC]

We’re shocked and saddened by the attack against Save the Children in Jalalabad, #Afghanistan. Our thoughts are with their staff and family at this devastating time. https://t.co/RXAKmMpIcI
