"According to intelligence, a lot of people want to leave this zone, but the terrorist groups in Idlib are blocking the humanitarian corridor," RIA Novosti quoted Abdullah as saying.

According to him, the roads that lead to the checkpoint are "blocked, residents are not allowed to leave under the threat of execution," he said that, "militants hide behind civilians, use them as a human shield."

It is noted that the checkpoint "Abu al-Duhur" was reopened on September 13. As specified, the opening took place at the initiative of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties (CPVS) with close cooperation with the Syrian side.

Earlier, the FAN reported that the workers of the Central Military District issued school kits to residents of the city of Duma.
