Tens of Thousands of Syrians Flee Idlib for Turkish Border
----------------------------------------------------------

Tens of thousands of Syrians have fled the northwest province of
Idlib-the last major rebel-held territory in Syria-amid fears the Syrian
government will launch a full-out ground offensive. The United Nations
has warned an offensive could lead to the worst loss of life in 21st
century. This is Ali Al-Mheymid, who fled from Idlib to the Turkish
border.

Ali Al-Mheymid: "What happened was destruction all over, burning,
something you can't describe, it was strange. Military planes, rocket
propellers, everything, they did not differentiate between civilians and
others. There are no bases, nothing, they want to target civilians."
