Dozens of Civilians Die as Syrian and Russian Warplanes Pound Idlib

HeadlineMay 10, 2019

In northwestern Syria, dozens of people have been reported killed amid heavy airstrikes by Russian and Syrian warplanes. Among the dead are the parents and siblings of 2-year-old Khadija al-Hamdan, who was the sole survivor of an airstrike that flattened out her home in Idlib province. The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says Syrian forces have dropped over a dozen barrel bombs in recent days on Idlib, backed by scores of Russian airstrikes which have hit schools and hospitals. The United Nations has called for an urgent de-escalation of fighting.
