Rally urges Britain to find solution in Syria

LONDON: Around 150 people rallied in central London on Saturday calling for Britain to take decisive action to end the five-year war in Syria.

They piled up teddy bears outside Downing Street to symbolise the number of young casualties in the battered city of Aleppo from a recent surge in violence.

They also delivered a letter to Prime Minister Theresa May’s 10 Downing Street office demanding she take action to help cease the bloodshed.

"We’re here today to send a very strong message to Theresa May that what’s happening in Aleppo just cannot continue," said James Sadri, director of The Syria Campaign, which calls for humanitarian action in the war-ravaged country. "There’s 100,000 children living under siege in eastern Aleppo being bombed every day. We need that to stop,"
