The United Nations has warned that there could be a "bloodbath" as Syrian government and Russian forces prepare to attack the last major rebel stronghold -- Idlib province -- putting millions at risk, as airstrikes have already killed at least 40, including many children, the Express (British) website reports today (August 13, 2018).
Syrian troops are reported to be gathering at the outskirts of the province, which is the home of 2.5 million people.
Currently, around 60 percent of Idlib province is controlled by Hayat Tahrir Sham (HTS), a coalition of anti-government groups which includes a faction which used to give its allegiance to Al-Qaeda.
Meanwhile, at least 41 civilians -- half of them children -- were killed during a recent airstrike in Idlib.
