Breaking: Satellite images show a Syria ravaged
I got this from Amnesty International:

Dear Tracy,
Do they think we'll forget about the crisis in Syria — that we'll distractedly turn our heads? We won't and we're proving it.
This week, Amnesty released satellite images that detail the widespread destruction in Syria in an effort to put the crisis back on the radar of Americans and the global community.
CNN, The New York Times, Huffington Post, Reuters, AP and others have covered the images and Amnesty's work to document the ongoing abuses committed during the devastating conflict. But we won't stop there.
Help us keep the pressure on. Make an urgent donation so we can continue our innovative efforts to stop human rights abuses in Syria and around the world.
Amnesty has sent its researchers into Syria 10 times since the conflict began three years ago. We have documented war crimes and crimes against humanity. as the country has spiralled into chaos and bloodshed.
As we report on abuses from the ground, our teams in the United States have begun employing satellite images to show the scale of the destruction from above.
The satellite images can only hint at the horror experienced by the people below - the UN reports that over 100,000 Syrians have died, and hundreds of thousands more have been wounded or forced from their homes with nowhere safe to go.
Will you help us keep the crisis in Syria front and center? Donate now and support Amnesty's efforts using technological and on-the-ground research to pressure the global community to end the violence in Syria.
Sincerely,
Sunjeev Bery
