Most gripping i/v in #Aleppo today had 0 to do with arms. Maternity hosp anaesthetist: "Every woman says they don't want to give birth."

and at 6:15pm:

"Women are desperately looking for contracetive pills, but can't find any. We live in a time of catastrophe." #Aleppo

Arms would be the first step. One that should have been taken long ago.

I remember when I was at school many of the staff still remembered their war experiences very clearly and were very clear that we would make the world a better place and these things wouldn't happen again. Sadly of course they were wrong and it still goes on all over the World!

The plight of many women across the globe is unbearable. How lucky are we, and how much do we take for granted?
