It seems that these building have been bombarded……. Very similar to building in Palestine after air raids….. Very saddening indeed…. It was a doomsday as narrated by eyewitnesses there!!

Time we all should stand up against this… Those who are waiting and supporting this are forgeting that after us it will be them!!
