Turkey says it will defend all twelve observation posts in Idleb, including the one just besieged by the Syrian army near Khan Sheikhoun, and that it won't let fleeing Syrians cross into Turkey but will help construct shelters inside Syria.

@MSuchkov_ALM: both Russia and Turkey are irritated by the ongoing conflict in Idleb, and with each other, but falling back on the Sochi compromise is complicated by the fact that the Syrian government has successfully broken the former ceasefire line.https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2019/08/turkey-russia-stress-test-idlib-syria-strike-convoy.html …2 replies 1 retweet 1 likeShow this thread -

.@OCHA_Syria: 640,000 displacements due to fighting in Idleb since May 1, nearly all in rebel area. That's displacements, not displaced persons—the number of people is lower, since many have fled more than once. UN warns it now needs more funding to cope. https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/nwsyria_sitrep11_6sept2019.pdf …pic.twitter.com/lbkhCFzQ8a
