      Syrian government air raids in Idlib continue to hit residential areas, blow up hospitals, and drive people from their homes.

      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. @dominicjevanshttps://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-security-turkey/syrian-offensive-puts-turkish-troops-and-border-plans-in-peril-idUSKCN1VC1PA …

      .@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 …

      UN (@OCHA_Syria) reporting after the recapture of Khan Sheikhoun says more than 400,000 people fled their homes in Idlib/Hama since May 1. At least 500 civilians have been killed; local sources say 870. WHO documented 43 attacks on healthcare facilities.https://reliefweb.int/report/syrian-arab-republic/syrian-arab-republic-recent-developments-northwestern-syria-situation-3 …

      UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet says more than 1000 civilians have been killed in Syria since April, with around 95% of civilian deaths caused by government attacks, including air strikes. Attacks on medical facilities now up to 51. https://www.ohchr.org/SP/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=24945&LangID=E …pic.twitter.com/TAkSrq1UZx

      .@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
