Idlib’s ‘Syrian government does not denounce’ kills eight, including children | Bashar al-Assad News

Controlling the war, rescue teams have blamed the government for the attacks; one of the largest since the ceasefire went into effect in March last year.

At least eight civilians, including six children, were killed in construction and artillery fire by Russian-backed Syrian government forces on Saturday in Idlib, a war monitor said and a rescue team said.

The attacks also injured 16 people in various parts of the Jabal al-Zawiya area south of the fort, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said in the UK.

He killed five members of the same family in Iblin village, two children in Balyun village and another child in Balshun village, he said.

The Syrian Civil Defense, a search for volunteers known as the White Helmets, and a rescue team, insurgents operating in various parts of Syria, confirmed the deaths.

“Russia and regime forces carried out a horrific massacre this morning in the #Idlib rural area, where 8 civilians … were killed,” the group said. he said On Twitter, search and rescue efforts are still underway.

In Iblin, a photographer for the AFP news agency saw the family’s bodies arrive at the health clinic, wrapped in wool and cotton blankets.

Nurses and other people prepared to bury the bodies, cleaning the bloody body of a young boy before entering the gas, he said.

The highest death toll on Saturday is since the international ceasefire came into force in March last year to protect the rebel-held stronghold from government attacks.

Much of the Idlib enclave is controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an armed group that includes former members of the Syrian Al-Qaeda franchise.

But the government-backed truce backed by Russia and opposition Turkey is often violated, as government forces maintain pressure on the rebel enclave.

In recent weeks, Russian warplanes have explored the southern Idlib region as government forces launch artillery fire, according to the SOHR.

‘Humanitarian disaster’

Meanwhile, hundreds of humanitarian workers formed a human chain on Friday in northern Idlib, urging the international community to open a single border crossing to get help in the rebel region.

“Humanitarian aid is a right, not a privilege,” read a sign posted by the aides, while others were in a pattern on the road, the words “lifeline” could be seen from the air.

The UN permit for aid to cross Turkey from Syria to Bab al-Hawa will expire on July 10.

Aid organizations fear Russia could block the UN Security Council’s vote to renew it for a year.

Wassim Bakir, Syria’s charity chief Banafsaj, said cross-border aid would be a “humanitarian catastrophe” if it is blocked.

The rebel-held Idlib province is now in the throes of a coronavirus pandemic, while many of its health facilities are damaged. Nearly three million people live in the region, most of them internally displaced.

The Syrian war has killed nearly 500,000 people since it began in 2011 with the brutal crackdown on peaceful demonstrations.
