By @edkashi A young boy sells postcards at the Palmyra Ruins in Syria on May 1, 1995. These ruins date back more than two thousand years and are one of Syria's main tourist attractions. These ruins, in addition to the civilians living in Palmyra are currently under threat by ISIS who has asserted control over half of Syria’s territory. According to a recent @nytimes report, “Nearly all of that is desert, although the militants have seized critical roads, oil and gas fields, and many sites where valuable antiquities can be excavated, now chief among them Palmyra.” @viiphoto #savePalmyra
