In Syria, up to 100,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in the northwestern province of Idlib amid an intensification of the Russian-backed Syrian government offensive there. About 3 million people currently live in Idlib province, which has been bombarded by Russian and Syrian airstrikes for months. Increasingly heavy fighting in recent days has forced tens of thousands of people to flee toward the Turkish border, as the Syrian government seeks to seize control of one of the last territories held by anti-government rebels. Humanitarian groups say dozens of Syrian civilians have been killed in the past week alone.
