Syrian regime presses on with Idlib offensive, which has displaced half a million people
A handout picture released by SANA on February 3, 2020 shows Syrian troops gathering in an area southwest of Saraqeb during their assault on Idlib region.
Intensive aerial bombardment and ground fighting in Idlib region, a de-escalation zone, since December have killed almost 300 civilians and triggered one of the largest waves of displacement in the nine-year war. Holdout opposition forces can only exit from the north, with regime forces deployed on all other sides, according to the war monitor group.
Regime shelling of Turkish positions in Idlib killed seven Turkish soldiers and one civilian contractor, Ankara said. They are now struggling to find shelter as refugee camps are overcrowded and lack essential infrastructure. Thousands of families are in dire need of humanitarian aid as they struggle to live under harsh winter conditions.
