Syria Border Town Residents Returning After Army Ousts Rebels
KASAB, SYRIA — Residents of the Armenian Christian village of Kasab on Syria's border with Turkey began returning home on Monday, dancing, cheering and waving flags in the main square a day after the army retook the area from rebels.
The fall of Kasab to President Bashar al-Assad's forces less than three months after insurgents captured it dealt another symbolic and strategic blow to an opposition undermined in recent months by infighting and government gains.

Russia, China block Security Council referral of Syria to International Criminal Court
UN, 22 May 2014 – Despite repeated appeals by senior United Nations officials for accountability for crimes being committed in Syria, the Security Council was unable today to adopt a resolution that would have referred the situation in the war-torn nation to the International Criminal Court (ICC), due to vetoes by permanent members Russia and China.
The resolution, which was backed by the other 13 members of the Council, would have given the Court the mandate to investigate the horrific crimes committed during the course of the conflict in Syria, which since March 2011 has witnessed the deaths of over 100,000 civilians, the displacement of millions and widespread violations of human rights.

Renewed Syrian peace talks make little progress as concern rises for detained evacuees – UN
“The beginning of this week is as laborious as it was in the first week [of the talks]…I’m urging everybody to speed up,” UN-Arab League Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi told a news briefing in Geneva of the latest diplomatic push to end a war which has killed well over 100,000 people and driven nearly 9 million others from their homes since the conflict erupted between President Bashar al-Assad and various groups seeking his ouster nearly three years ago.

New UN airlift ships food from Iraq to 30,000 Syrians cut off on land by civil war
The airlift comes as the UN World Food Programme (WFP) faces in Syria what is currently its most complex emergency globally, with challenges ranging from bureaucratic delays, insecurity on roads, the closure of major highways, and sieges imposed on civilians trapped in over 40 locations across the country due to the civil war.

Syria: UN humanitarian chief says no progress made on access to hard-to-reach areas
-
3 December 2013 – Reporting “modest progress” with the Syrian
Government on speeding up visa issuance and increasing the number of
relief distribution hubs, a top United Nations official said today that
with perhaps 250,000 Syrians cut off from aid in besieged communities
across the war-torn country, greater efforts are needed to ensure real
gains on the humanitarian front. “I advised the Security Council that we have seen some modest progress in terms of administrative procedures that had been put in place over time,” said Valerie Amos, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, as she spoke to reporters after briefing the 15-member body on the humanitarian situation in Syria.

Black Market in Lebanon: Syrian Refugees Selling Organs to Survive.
In the shadow of the Syrian civil war, a growing number of refugees are surviving in Lebanon by illegally selling their own organs. But the exchange comes at a huge cost.
The young man, who called himself Raïd, wasn't doing well. He climbed into the backseat of the car, in pain, careful not to touch any corners. He was exhausted and dizzy. A large bandage looped around his stomach, caked with blood. Despite that, the 19-year-old Syrian wanted to tell his story.

Dramatic report: Inside the battle for Syria's ancient Christian village (VIDEO RT).
-
Anti-Assad rebels have been forced out of many parts of Syria’s
ancient Christian village of Maaloula, but the fighting there remains
heavy, RT correspondent Maria Finoshina reports from the scene.After arriving in the center of the village Wednesday, Maria Finoshina and the RT camera crew saw signs of a recent battle and heard shelling, but received a warm welcome from smiling and relieved Syrian Army soldiers, who said the village was freed from jihadists. The claim would later in the day turn out to be premature.

Russian Arms Supplies to Syria ‘No Breach of Law’ - Putin ..... one does not really need to back the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies and eat their intestines
LONDON, June 16 (RIA Novosti) – President Vladimir Putin on Sunday
defended Russia’s weapons supplies to Syria saying they are in the
framework of the international law.
“If we speak calmly, I want to stress that Russia supplies arms to
the legitimate government of Syria in full compliance with the norms of
international law and we call on our partners to act in the same way,”
Putin told reporters after talks with British Prime Minister David
Cameron on Sunday.
“We are not breaching any rules,” Putin said.
"I think you will not deny that one does not really need to back the
people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies and
eat their intestines," Putin said referring to a video footage of a
rebel eating what appeared to be a government soldier’s heart.

Lavrov: Syria Government Gaining Ground, No Need to Use Chemical Arms
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there was no need for the
Syrian government to use chemical arms since the Syrian Army was making
steady advances on the ground.
"The regime, as the opposition is saying out in the open, is enjoying military success on the ground," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters during a joint press appearance with his Italian counterpart Emma Bonino. "What sense is there for the regime to use chemical arms -- especially in such small amounts?" Lavrov asked.
Russia said on Friday that US allegations Assad had used chemical weapons during the fight with the foreign-backed militants were fabricated and unconvincing.
