“We have 10,000 people in the streets who have nowhere to run to when the rockets fall,” said Mohammad Al Darawi, an activist with the National Coalition of the Syrian Opposition in Nasib, which has allegedly received an influx of over 15,000 displaced Syrians over the past month alone.
“If the regime does not stop soon, we will witness the largest massacre since the start of the revolution,” Darawi claimed.
Thursday marked the second straight day of heavy shelling in southern Syria, according to activists.
Local residents and activists in Nasib and Taibeh were unable to verify the number of casualties in the bombings, with Free Syrian Army officials estimating that “over 50” displaced Syrians have been killed by rocket-fire.
The shelling comes amid an ongoing exodus of over 20,000 civilians fleeing recent chemical attacks in central Damascus.
