Father mourns his three dead children and their baby cousin who were killed in Assad airstrikes in Syria

At least 16 civilians including seven children have been killed by Syrian and Russian airstrikes in the jihadi-held Idlib region. 

Heartbreaking images show a father mourning over the bodies of three of his young children and their baby cousin after they were all killed in a blast on Wednesday in the town of Maaret al-Numan. 

The man can be seen doubled-over with grief, holding his head in his hands, and being comforted by another relative as he weeps. 

Nearby, the body of another dead child - just a few months old - lays swaddled up in a blanket that is tied with rope. 

Russian-backed regime forces have been fighting since April to wrest control of Idlib from jihadi rebel forces.

The province is the last rebel-held region in Syria, but is also home to some 3million civilians - around half of whom fled there amid fighting in the rest of the country.
