Airstrikes in Syria's key rebel enclave displace 8,000

On April 30, the Syrian government, supported by Russian air power, began a large-scale offensive against rebels in the provinces of Hama and Idlib, forcing thousands of people to flee.
The Syrian forces have since regained territory from the rebels in the two neighbouring provinces.
David Swanson, the spokesman of United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Jordan, could not confirm the latest numbers of those displaced by the ongoing bout of violence in Idlib.
"The situation on the ground remains fluid," he told dpa. "While we don't have confirmation on the actual numbers, there is renewed displacement from southern Idlib northward and it’s significant," he added. 
At least 30 civilians, mainly children, have been killed since Monday by Syrian and Russian airstrikes in rural Idlib, according to Abdel-Rahman.
Idlib is the last rebel stronghold in Syria.
