Remember little Salwa, whose father taught her to laugh at the sound of bombs to calm her fears? Her family has made it safely out of Idlib into Turkey. Her father is giddy with relief, “Salwa has a completely different future.” https://t.co/f2vVeXCeTA

Instead of publicly announcing a brief ceasefire that could allow thousands of Syrians to flee bombardment Tuesday, @UNOCHA communicated the news in a four-line email to NGOs https://t.co/7LyH5usD8L #Syria#Idlib
Even those who flee are not safe in #Idlib. Today warplanes targeted an IDP camp near the city of Saraqeb, killing 10 civilians including 5 children.
This picture is of a father weeping the loss of his little boy who was killed in the attack.

What’s left from the Women Now center in Maarat al Numan, is a broken sign. It has been the safe place for hundreds of women since 2014. We celebrated their graduations and we built our dreams for a better future. This’s not the future we waited for and this can’t be the end.
Syrian regime forces & Russian air force targeted 16 towns in #Idlib w/120 artillery shells, 57 airstrikes, 43 missiles & barrel bombs.

This picture from Maarat al-Numan speaks volumes. A man packs what he can as he prepares to flee. The writing on the wall that says: “Nobody should be subjected to torture, brutality or inhumane treatment and the evidence is Assad’s prisons. #IdlibUnderFire#HumanRights”
Syrian refugees in Lebanon are facing pressures to return to Syria. We asked a group of women who fled Syria to Lebanon why they can’t go back (we have used pseudonyms). @UNHCR has the responsibility to ensure refugee returns are safe and voluntary. #ProtectRefugees#RefugeeForum
Syrian refugees in Lebanon face severe dangers if forced to return. Here is Marwa’s story. @UNHCR must do more to ensure all refugee returns from Lebanon to Syria are genuinely voluntary, dignified and safe. (Audio -Arabic, subtitles -English).
#ProtectRefugees#RefugeeForum
Over the past year, Syrian refugees have faced increasing pressure from the Lebanese authorities to return to Syria, despite the dangers they face of arrest or conscription into the military. Returning refugees are at the mercy of the Assad regime. #StopTheDeportations
