Explosive death toll in Syria increases by a quarter:
Civil war in Syria has driven a rapid increase in the number of victims of explosions in the last year with the worldwide total of deaths rising by more than a quarter, a new report has said.
The report by Action on Armed Violence, a charity, said that it had established that at least 34,000 had been killed or maimed in 2012, a 26 per cent increase on the figure a year earlier. The report said that at least 27,000 of the victims were civilians, or 79 per cent of the total.
Syria was the worst affected country from explosive violence in 2012 with at least 8,382 affected, a five-fold increase over the year earlier.
The civil war torn country was joined in the top ten by Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria.

Syria crisis: UN issues rare joint appeal for action:
The heads of five major UN agencies have issued a rare joint appeal to the international community to do much more to end "cruelty and carnage" in Syria.
In a statement, the chiefs of the WHO, Unicef, Ocha, WFP and UNHCR urged political leaders to use their influence to solve the crisis.
They said they were appealing for "something more important than funds".
The UN says at least 70,000 people have been killed and 1.2 million left homeless since the conflict began.
