'FSA raped, killed young woman in Syria'

Press TV: Free Syrian Army members have raped and killed another young woman in Syria. "The International Federation of Human Rights interviewed a Syrian man who witnessed the kidnapping of a young girl by elements of the Free Syrian Army," Special Representative of the UN Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zainab Hawa Bangura told the UN Security Council in a Thursday meeting. "The girl was raped, and then killed. Her body was thrown in front of her house," Bangura added, calling for an end to such war crimes in Syria.


Meanwhile, Syria's Ambassador to the UN Bashar al-Ja'afari also slammed unfulfilled promises of humanitarian assistance issued by countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, describing them as "media propaganda."

Also on Thursday, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos said 6.8 million people out of a 20.8 million population need humanitarian assistance in Syria.
