Cartoons In Gulf Press On Humanitarian Disaster In Aleppo - MEMRI




by MEMRI

-- the cartoons presented the Assad regime and its allies as the perpetrators of war crimes and mass-murder. They also leveled harsh criticism at the U.N. and international community

The humanitarian disaster in eastern Aleppo due to the massive attacks of the Syrian regime and its allies, Russia and Iran, on the city, as well as Aleppo's recent recapture by the regime, have been widely addressed in the Arab media, including in many Cartoons, especially in the Gulf press. Depicting the catastrophic situation in Aleppo prior to its fall, and also commenting on the deal for evacuating civilians and fighters from the city, the cartoons presented the Assad regime and its allies as the perpetrators of war crimes and mass-murder. They also leveled harsh criticism at the U.N. and international community for ignoring Aleppo's plight and not doing anything to rescue the city.
The following is a sampling of the cartoons published in the Gulf press.
