Since late April, the Syrian regime and its Russian allies have launched near-daily airstrikes and shelling throughout the province of Idlib, the last rebel stronghold left after 8 years of bitter civil war. While Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claims he is targeting rebel terrorist groups, it’s clear that civilians like Mohammad are bearing the brunt of a relentless and indiscriminate bombing campaign. • More than 700 civilians, including 300 children, have been killed since the latest offensive began. More than 400,000 more have been displaced in the same time frame, according to the United Nations, and the Syrian Civil Defense teams work round the clock to help struggling families move away from neighborhoods that are still being shelled. The fighting continues even as Russian, Turkish and Iranian leaders have agreed to multiple ceasefires to end the violence in Idlib Province. • • Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News • Check out VICE News for more: http://vicenews.com • Follow VICE News here: • Facebook: / vicenews • Twitter: / vicenews • Tumblr: / vicenews • Instagram: / vicenews • More videos from the VICE network: https://www.fb.com/vicevideo
