The UN has expressed grave concern over reports of entire families killed in north-west Syria amid escalating violence between security forces and loyalists of the Assad regime. This surge in clashes has resulted in the highest civilian death toll since the outbreak of the revolution in 2011, with over 1,000 casualties reported. The UN's Volker Turk urged for investigations into these atrocities. The conflict escalated following an ambush by Assad loyalists, prompting revenge attacks targeting civilians, particularly from the Alawite sect. This situation underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis and instability in Syria.
The UN has condemned extremely disturbing reports of entire families being killed in north-west Syria, calling for accountability and investigations into the civilian deaths.
Fighting began after Assad loyalists ambushed security forces in Jableh, resulting in a wave of revenge attacks against civilians of the Alawite sect.
Reports suggest that the recent clash resulted in over 1,000 deaths, including significant numbers of civilians, raising urgent humanitarian concerns.
