More than 235,000 people have fled Idlib region in Syria, says UN
Displacement follows two weeks of air and ground assaults on rebel stronghold
More than 235,000 people have fled from the Idlib region over the past two weeks, the UN has said, as attacks intensify on Syria’s final opposition stronghold.
The mass displacement between 12 and 25 December has left the Maarat al-Numan area in southern Idlib “almost empty”, the UN said in a statement on Friday.
