The heavy bombardment has forced hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes leaving them stranded in northern Syria
A picture taken on May 10, 2019 shows plumes rising from shelling by government forces on the town of Khan Sheikhun in the southern countryside of the rebel-held Idlib province.
In the past 24 hours, rebels launched a counter-offensive in Hama to recapture areas they lost on Thursday. Eight months ago, Ankara and Moscow agreed to make Idlib a de-escalation zone, but more than 100 civilians have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced in the past two weeks. On Friday, Turkey’s Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said the regime should end attacks and its forces must return to borders determined by Astana Agreement.
Syria has only just begun to emerge from a devastating conflict that began in 2011 when the Assad regime cracked down on demonstrators with unexpected severity.
