Government soldiers at checkpoints prevent injured civilians from getting to hospitals. Humanitarian aid, such as medical and surgical supplies, was obstructed as a weapon of war.In Government prisons, detainees were subjected to horrific torture and sexual assault that had always led to mass deaths of prisoners.In the months of April and May, Government forces used chemical agents in eight attacks in western Syria.The Government&039;s Popular Committees are also recruiting for children to participate in hostilities.Some states were unstoppable in delivering mass shipments of arms, artillery and aircraft to the Syrian Government.
