Four students were killed in #Idlib last week on their way to school. 182 Syrian teachers have signed this letter to world leaders demanding a stop to ongoing attacks on children by the Syrian regime and Russia.

10 schools BOMBED by Russia & its allies in Syria.

9 children & 3 teachers, were killed.

World leaders must act to stop the bombs and help Syrian children get back to learning.

THREAD: At least EIGHT schools have been targeted by the Syrian regime today across #Idlib province, some of them used as shelters by IDPs. Among the killed are 3 teachers and 1 student. Photo shows the remnant of a cluster munition fired on al-Baraem school in Idlib city. 1/

Today, 10 schools have been targeted by Syrian and Russian forces in #Idlib & #Aleppo countryside. As a state party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Syrian government's deliberate destruction of schools violates International Humanitarian Law.

Rest in Peace, Safia Eid.

It is absolutely unbelievable & unacceptable that teachers are KILLED BY BOMBS DROPPED ON SCHOOLS.

Syrian kids need books & education, not bombs. #BooksNotBombs

Safia Eid, the 35-year-old teacher, succumbed to her wounds today after her school was bombed in #Sarmin massacre on January 1 by regime forces with cluster bombs. Today Safia joined her son Abdel-Qader and 10 other people, including 4 of her students who were killed that day.

Another school bombed today in #Idlib by Assad regime forces.

No student should ever experience this horror while trying to learn.

A child survived with his teacher from the clutches of death.. Horrific moments after regime warplanes deliberately bomb a school in Jisr al-Shughour City in #Idlib

[The Syria Campaign @TheSyriaCmpgn]

Students around the world are going #BacktoSchool but in Idlib many of the schools are not operating, having either been bombed or repurposed as shelters. The existing schools can only take 300,000 of the 650,000 school-age children in the area https://t.co/2WC20sg1Nw

If all universities followed @UniofReading's lead, we'd make a huge difference in the lives of many students from conflict zones. Bravo 👏👏👏 https://t.co/Br8ORBpVRV

[Uni of Reading @UniofReading]

We've had feedback over the last week that some people are unhappy with our plan to offer up to 14 scholarships to refugees living in the local area. To these people, we would like to say: Tough. Jog on. https://t.co/ioDLPp5crw

The regime forces targeted the town #Badma in the western countryside of #Idlib by dozens of “phosphorus” rockets causing fires in the agricultural land. White Helmets teams were able to control it without any casualties.

An airstrike Thurs killed at least 17 civilians who had been hiding in an underground shelter in SW Syria, according to witnesses & war monitors. It was the deadliest single incident yet of an accelerating offensive by the Syrian gov & its allies in Daraa. https://t.co/DDGHkSkM5W

[Books Not Bombs @Books_Not_Bombs]

Syria & Russia began an offensive on Daraa which pushed upwards of 45K people from their homes towards the Jordanian border. In response, Jordan closed its borders.

"Open the Borders. We'll share our bread with them." is now trending in Jordan.

All in the name of national security – for those that don't know, the US has only accepted 13 #Syrian #refugees this year – it's almost July. Please don't be mistaken, Refugees Entering the U.S. Already Face a Rigorous Vetting Process https://t.co/5H4NUu3dKh #NoMuslimBanEver
