Humanitarian Crisis in Syria's Idlib Becoming More Desperate

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - U.N. agencies report an unprecedented number of people are
   fleeing for their lives as fighting intensifies among Syrian forces,
   their Russian allies and rebel groups in Syria's northwestern province
   of Idlib.

   The United Nations says nearly 700,000 people have fled Idlib and
   surrounding areas in just over the last 10 weeks. Most are women and
   children. Many have been forced to flee several times since Syria and
   its Russian allies launched a military offensive nine months ago to
   retake Idlib, the last rebel stronghold in the country.
