The number of dead in Syria’s civil war has passed 100,000, the U.N. chief said Thursday, calling for urgent talks on ending 2 ½ years of violence.
An opposition-aligned activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said at least 2,014 people, mostly combatants, have been killed since the Muslim holy month of Ramadan began on July 10 alone.
In the latest example of the relentless carnage, a car bomb killed at least 10 people and wounded 66 in a residential area near the capital Damascus.
All international attempts to broker a political solution to the Syrian civil war have failed. Despite a stalemate that has settled in for months, both sides still believe they can win the war and have placed impossible conditions for negotiations.
The international community has been unable – and some say, unwilling – to intervene sufficiently to tip the balance in favor of either the Assad regime or the rebels.
