These events have taken place in Syria May 5-11th, under President Bashar Assad as he continues his attempts to silence the opposition forces in his country.

-Twin suicide bombs in Damascus: 55 dead, 370 injured

-Roadside bomb: 6 dead

1 week yields 61 deaths, 370 injured

370 injured: Most will likely die of insufficient medical care, suffering until their last seconds of life. Injuries include missing limbs, eyes, parts of faces, shattered skulls, broken bones, internal bleeding, and many more. These injuries are impossible to treat without a medical facility, proper surgeons, and proper medicine to avoid infections. Seeing as how most medical hospitals have been disintegrated by the bombings, make-shift ones have been made. These facilities are shoving the wounded into cramped abandoned houses without even bandages to cover wounds.

Located in Croatia near Karlovac is the Plitvice Lakes National Park. It spans just less than 300 kilometers, and contains 16 lakes. All of the lakes are interconnected, and naturally formed dams are found throughout the park. The lakes are also known for their unique shades of water. Usually, the lakes are somewhere between an azure and green, but frequently change depending on the alkaline concentration. 

Sets of waterfalls also occupy the park, divided into the upper and lower falls. The highest water fall in the park, appropriately named the Large Waterfall (78m), is in the set of lower falls.
