Over 100,000 Syrian Civilians Flee Regime Offensive in Idlib
------------------------------------------------------------

northwestern province of Idlib in the last week, as the Russian-backed

rebel-controlled territory. The Syrian regime announced today it has
seized control of the key town of Ma'arat al-Nu'man, which former
residents say is now largely destroyed.
