Within a month.. 400 violations of the ceasefire by the Assad regime in northwest Syria
Today, Wednesday, June 2, the Syria Response Coordinators Group issued a statement that included the number of ceasefire violations by the Assad regime forces and the number of civilian casualties.
According to the statement, 9 civilians, including two women and a child, were killed as a result of the continued artillery and missile attacks.
The team documented violations of the March 5 ceasefire agreement in northwestern Syria, and violations amounted to about 400 violations by Assad regime forces and Russia during the month of May.
The team said: “The forces of the Assad regime and loyal militias, with the support and support of Russia, have continued to violate the ceasefire since March 2020.”
The team added that the violations include aerial bombardment by Russian warplanes and artillery and missile shelling that targeted residential neighborhoods in the villages and towns of Idlib countryside, stressing that these operations aim to prevent the return of civilians to their areas.
In its statement, the Syria Response Coordinators Group condemned the continued hostilities targeting civilians and the continuous violations carried out by the Assad regime forces and their ally Russia, holding them responsible for any military escalation in the region, which will lead to new waves of displacement.
The team indicated that its field teams continue to assess the humanitarian needs of civilians in northwestern Syria and present them to all humanitarian organizations and actors in humanitarian affairs.
The Assad regime forces escalated their bombing operations, which targeted several villages and towns in the southern countryside of Idlib, including “Al-Fatirah”, “Sfuhun” and “Benin”.
It is noteworthy that in March of 2020, the Turkish and Russian sides signed a ceasefire agreement in Idlib governorate, stipulating several items, most notably the conduct of joint patrols on the Aleppo-Latakia International Road.
