Civil Defense calls on the international community and the United Nations to stop the attacks of the Assad regime and Russia on Idlib
In a statement today, Sunday, the Syrian Civil Defense called on the international community, the United Nations and all human rights organizations to stand by civilians and humanitarian workers in northwestern Syria, to stop the attacks of the Assad regime and Russia on Idlib.
The statement clarified that the Assad regime and Russia forces have made the Syrian Civil Defense teams that rescue civilians their first target, by deliberately targeting them with artillery shelling with laser-guided missiles “Krasnopol”, and this is the sixth time that the teams have been targeted in a month and a half, which led to the death of two volunteers and the injury of 13 others.
The statement stressed that the continuation of the Assad regime and Russia’s policy of repeated killing leads to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in northwestern Syria and the occurrence of a major humanitarian catastrophe.
The statement considered that this terrorist crime is added to the record of systematic crimes committed by the Assad regime and its Russian ally against first responders of humanitarian workers, rescuers and paramedics.
The areas of northwestern Syria (the southern countryside of Idlib in Jabal al-Zawiya in particular) have witnessed a violent escalation campaign since the beginning of last June, which has left dozens of civilian martyrs and wounded, amid the continuation of the escalation, at a time when the results of the Russian-Turkish understandings regarding the fate of the area, which shelter tens of thousands of civilians, have not been clarified.
