Syrian attack in Idlib leaves tens of thousands of refugees

Syrian military forces, with Russian support, have been steadily advancing north in the province of Idlib, towards the country's border with Turkey, which has created tens of thousands of refugees fleeing the ensuing violence. After the fall of the Hama province and the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib, the rebels are swiftly losing foothold in their last held territories.
