As the Assad regime bombs Idlib, many Syrians are planning on fleeing to Europe in search of safety
Syrian regime and Russian war planesFighting between Assad forces and rebels has rattled a tentative truce that brought relative peace to the area.
The city of Idlib remains the last major urban area still not under Syrian regime control since the Russian intervention began in 2015., an all-out conflict in Idlib province risks displacing hundreds of thousands of people, with many planning to seek safety in neighbouring Turkey and European states.Samer Amona, a 30-year-old Masters student at Idlib University, said the Assad regime would not stop until it controlled the area, and that she and her family would not wait around to be “killed”.
Amona explained that her relatives left for Europe in 2014 but she did not want to leave at the time. Members of the Syrian Civil Defence clear rubble to open a road following reported shelling on the village of Ibdita in the Idlib province on May 8, 2019. Ahlam Bakri, a 34-year-old mother of four, settled in the town of Marat al Numan, in Idlib, after fleeing conflict in the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta. She said she feared the same fate in Idlib.
