Mass Graves Discovered in Southern Syria Raise Concerns
Increasing reports reveal the discovery of mass graves across Syria, with at least one grave containing an estimated 100,000 bodies near Damascus. The Syrian White Helmets organization reports that around 150,000 people are still missing, many of whom were political opponents of the regime under Bashar al-Assad. Former U.S. Ambassador Stephen Rapp has underscored the historical significance of these findings, comparing them to atrocities from the Nazi era. Efforts to identify the deceased and document the graves are ongoing amidst a humanitarian crisis.
