Syrian and Russian Militaries Continue Offensive in Idlib
---------------------------------------------------------

The Syrian government, backed by Russian airstrikes, is continuing its
offensive in Idlib province-the last major rebel-held part of Syria.
Residents and rescue workers say the Syrian government has been dropping
barrel bombs on apartment buildings, killing civilians, including
children. This is Herve Verhoosel, a spokesperson for the World Food
Programme.

Herve Verhoosel: "The single greatest priority must be to end this
brutal conflict. WFP appeals to all parties to protect civilians,
respect humanitarian principles and allow for the safe delivery of food
to families in need, no matter where they are."
