    Storyville White Helmets in Syria

    BBC iPlayer. If you haven’t watched it, distressing but inspiring.

    Saw it, it went to show that people are the same the world over. Not surprised at the ending.

    I accept that journalists and film makers can resort to propaganda to make a political point or beef up for effect.

    I was convinced by the bodies, the destruction, the planes and love for their families.

    I have no position in this conflict other than being against the degradation and filthiness of war.

    RT has some very interesting views on the White Helmets and the activities of some of their folks.

    Jordan takes in Syrian 'White Helmets' evacuated with Israeli help

    JERUSALEM/AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan said on Sunday 800 people including members of Syria’s “White Helmets” civil defence group had been evacuated from southwest Syria where Damascus’ forces are advancing against rebels, with Israeli officials saying they facilitated the mission.

    The Israeli military said that overnight it had completed “a humanitarian effort to rescue members of a Syrian civil organisation and their families ...due to an immediate threat to their lives”.
    It said they were transferred to a neighbouring country, which it did not identify.
    On Saturday, Israeli security forces closed down roads in the occupied Golan Heights, on the Syrian frontier, ahead of the evacuation operation.

    A Jordanian foreign ministry spokesman said the kingdom had allowed the UN to arrange the entry and passage of 800 Syrian civil defence workers. said their lives were in danger after a government offensive that regained rebel-held parts of southern Syria.

    The kingdom agreed to a request by Britain, Germany and Canada to give the White Helmet workers temporary asylum in the kingdom before settlement in the West on humanitarian grounds, spokesman Mohammad al Kayed said.
