As if it were hell .. This is how the IDPs from Idlib describe their tragedy

British newspapers have dealt with the tragic situation of Syrians displaced from Idlib, northwest of the country, and described their situation as catastrophic, in light of the progress of the Syrian regime forces and the closure of the Turkish border in front of them.

The writers, Chloe Corniche and Asma Al-Omar, in a report published in the Financial Times entitled "The Last Battle of Syria", say that the displaced people trapped between the closed borders and the advanced forces are facing a humanitarian crisis.

The report includes painful accounts of thousands of civilians fleeing Idlib, and testimonies of activists and officials of local and international relief organizations.

He adds that Idlib - which was a haven for hundreds of thousands of people who have survived other battles - has today become the scene of a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding, and a witness to the death of the Syrian revolution.

Idlib's fate
The newspaper says that the only hope for these people is that the bombing and destruction will stop, and Jumana Qaddour of the Syrian Relief and Development Organization is credited with saying that the fate of Idlib is very important for all Syrians who came out demanding freedom and dignity.

As for Aref Tamawi - a photographer from Idlib - he says that what is happening now has not happened before, adding that there is no place to go and that it looks like "the Day of Resurrection."

For its part, the Daily Telegraph highlighted the displaced people from the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, and said that they are starving and freezing cold, and that after about nine years of war, they lost hope for their safety, and all they wish for is quick death.

In a report in the newspaper, Sarah Elizabeth Williams says, a series of war-devastated areas from western Aleppo to Idlib have been attacked by rockets and air strikes, as the Syrian regime forces, backed by Hezbollah and other militias and the Russian air force, are seeking to advance north.

The newspaper adds that the control of the Syrian regime over the entire province of Aleppo is imminent, and that the camps for the displaced on the Turkish border are overcrowded and unable to accommodate more people, so families sleep in cars or on the streets, despite the temperatures dropping below zero.
