Civilian casualties rise as fighting intensifies in Syria's Idlib

Civilian casualties rise as fighting intensifies in Syria's Idlib

The UN says there has been an alarming rise in civilian casualties in Syria's last opposition-controlled province.

It says 90 civilians, half of them children, were killed in March.

The bombardment of Idlib by the Syrian government has intensified, despite a ceasefire.

The opposition blames the government and says it has been targeting residential neighbourhoods and markets.

Moscow is one of the government’s main backers - and says it is helping it eliminate what it calls "a terrorist threat" in the province.
