Over 70k Syrians Have Died Since March 2011 - U.N. Report

So the U.N. has reported that over 70k Syrians have died since March 2011.  That's a shocking amount that is still growing.  There are also close to 200,000 Syrian refugees who have fled to Turkey.  And many also in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq, living in desperate poverty, with no access to the medical care they need.  Hopefully Sec. of State John Kerry visits some of the Syrian refugee camps in that region before he leaves.  They could certainly use the increased media exposure to benefit the American public's awareness of the dire situation.
