Scores of civilians were killed today (March 16, 2018) in airstrikes in the Kafr Batna district in Syria  amid a mass exodus from rebel-held areas, according to the UPI website.


The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 41 civilians -- including six children -- were killed today.


As airstrikes continued, some 2,000 more people fled from rebel-held areas after it was reported that between 12,000 and 13,000 people had already left Damascus last night.


Yesterday, thousands fled the enclave of Eastern Ghouta as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government forces advanced into rebel-held areas.
