Sunday, 22 Dec 2019 05:54 PM MYTANKARA, Dec 22 — At least 25,000 civilians have fled Syria’s northwestern region of Idlib and headed towards Turkey over the past two days, Turkish state media said today, as Syrian and Russian forces intensified their bombardment of the region.
Hundreds of people have been killed this year in attacks on residential areas of Idlib, according to UN agencies. While a Syrian and Russian military campaign launched late in April had subsided in August under a fragile ceasefire, rescue teams said air strikes killed six people in Maarat al Numan and 11 more in villages in the area on Friday.
Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency said today that since Erdogan gave his figure, another 25,000 had fled Idlib and come to areas near the Turkish border.
