Haley Blasts Russia Over Syrian Gas Attack: How Many More Children Must Die Before They Care? [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:

Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley tore into Russia on Wednesday over Bashar al-Assad’s suspected use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people the day before, as the U.N. Security Council took up a resolution condemning the attack.

“Russia has shielded Assad from U.N. sanctions. If Russia has the influence in Syria that it claims it has, we need to see them use it,” Haley said at an emergency meeting of the council. “We need to see them put an end to these horrific acts. How many more children have to die before Russia cares.”

The abruptly called meeting followed reports on Tuesday of a suspected chemical weapons attack in Northern Syria that killed at least 70 civilians, many of whom were children. Activists and eyewitnesses said that the strike was conducted by the government of the Syrian president.
