Syrian Army Expected to Soon Launch Idlib Offensive

HeadlineAug 22, 2018

In Syria, the Syrian Army is expected to soon begin its offensive in the northwestern province of Idlib, the Syrian opposition’s last major territory in the country. Three million people currently live in Idlib, half of whom are internally displaced. This is U.N. humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland.

Jan Egeland: “What I fear is human suffering like perhaps none we’ve seen even before in this conflict. It could be worse than Aleppo, worse than Eastern Ghouta, worse than Raqqa.”
