Idlib – North-Press Agency
During a government meeting with Aleppo Chamber of Industry, Hussein Diab, Aleppo Governor announced the imminent return of Aleppo International Airport and Aleppo-Damascus International road back to work in the upcoming period.
Diab stressed on the return of the international road to work, saying: “The road will soon be back to work and I’m talking about accurate information,” at a time he pointed out to “some security conditions,” being got rid of in order to be back to work completely at Aleppo International Airport which is located east of the city.
These statements coincided with the recent military escalation by both the Syrian and Russian forces targeting various areas of Idlib, Hama, and Aleppo, coinciding with the huge movement of displacement from areas within the de-escalation zones.
The areas of al-Tamanaa, Tarmalla, and Hass in the southern countryside of Idlib were hit by aerial bombardment, one person was killed and many were injured.
The Syrian and Russian fighter jets also targeted areas in al-Mashik, al-Qarqour and Dweir al-Akrad in the north-western countryside of Hama, the areas of Kafr Zita, Morek, Tal al-Meleh and al-Arbaeen in the northern countryside of Hama, and Sarmaniya in the south-westernmost of Idlib.
While the shells of the Syrian government forces targeted the areas of Az-Zakat and Latamina in the northern countryside of Hama, at a time the areas of Kassibiya, Al-Bawabiya and Jeb Kass in the southern countryside of Aleppo were subjected to intensive airstrikes, resulting in injuries.
The intensive airstrikes on the town of Bidama on Saturday morning has caused the displacement of dozens of families from the town towards areas far from the bombing, while some of them continued their way to the camps of displacement in northern Idlib.
While members of the UN Security Council called on Russia, during a closed session, to put an end to the attacks on hospitals in Idlib, where the meeting was held at the request of Germany, Kuwait and Belgium, while Moscow rejected “The adoption of a joint statement condemning the attacks on Hospitals”.
While the United Nations has recently revealed its statistics about the displacement of more than 330,000 people and the attacks on more than 25 medical facilities by aerial bombardment since the end of April 2019.
While the team of Response Coordinators counted the numbers of displaced people to more than 654.717 people since the beginning of last February.
In addition, the team has counted the targeting of 63 hospitals and medical points, 91 educational buildings, 8 IDP camps, and about 27 bakeries and popular bazaars in different areas of Idlib, Hama, Aleppo and Latakia, and dozens of other sites of rescue teams’ centers, power stations and water pumping stations.
