The World Health Organization is urgently calling for safe routes to evacuate the many sick and wounded in the city of Aleppo, which has seen the worst fighting in years after a cease-fire collapsed last week.  Tuesday, the U.S. pledged $364 million in humanitarian aid to Syria.  As the conflict intensifies and the refugee crisis grows, debate continues over what America’s role should be in ending Syria’s five year war.
