US condemns 'ruthless actions' by Syrian regime, allies

BALADI NEWS

The U.S. on Monday condemned “ruthless actions” by various parties that are hampering efforts to bring peace to northern Syria.

“Ruthless actions by Russia, the Iranian regime, Hezbollah and the Assad regime are directly preventing the establishment of a cease-fire in northern Syria,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote on Twitter.

“We condemn these barbaric attacks and call for an immediate cease-fire,” Pompeo added.

A renewed drive by Bashar Assad to recapture opposition-held Idlib province in Syria's northwest sparked a fresh exodus of many thousands of civilians toward Turkey's border on Monday amid heavy airstrikes, aid workers and witnesses said.

Approximately 541,000 civilians have been displaced from the settlements of Idlib's southern, southeastern, and Aleppo's western and southern rural areas since Nov. 2019.

It was reported that 39,000 more civilians have fled to safer areas near the Turkish border in the past 24 hours due to the regime attacks.
