The aid workers - six Red Cross staff and a SARC volunteer - were "abducted this morning by unidentified armed men near Sareqeb," the ICRC said in a statement.
"We call for the immediate and unconditional release of the seven colleagues," said Magne Barth, head of the ICRC's Syria delegation.
Clearly a terrorist faction group has kidnapped the impartial humanitarian workers, this is such a low and disgusting thing to stoop to! These people are innocent and have nothing to do with what's happening in Syria. But no group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping. "The convoy, which was on its way back to Damascus, was clearly marked with the ICRC emblem, which is not a religious symbol," an ICRC representative said. But the group was travelling in a rebel occupied area and that is all that is known. Kidnapping has become an increasing problem in Syria, with journalists and aid workers frequently targeted in rebel-held parts of the country, largely in the north.
Last month a German aid worker held for almost four months escaped his kidnappers in Idlib, just like his two colleagues who managed to flee in July, according to their aid group Gruenhelme. Yet people believe these rebels are legitimate opposition for syrian government? How can we condone kidnapping, be heading, cannibalism and racism!
