YEREVAN, OCTOBER 28, ARMENPRESS. UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake issued a statement on the recent attacks on schools in Syria, the UN Armenia office told ARMENPRESS.

The statement reads: “Yesterday, when a school compound in Syria was repeatedly attacked, killing dozens of children and teachers, we thought we had seen the depths of depravity.

“Today’s reports of attacks on schools in Douma and western Aleppo should deepen our disgust and outrage.

“This brings the toll to five schools hit since October 11. “Attacking schools … killing children … is simply inhuman.

“If the perpetrators cannot find their own sense of humanity, they should heed the condemnation of the world.”
