Since 2013, Russian forces, alongside Syrian regime forces, have been intensively bombing civilian areas in northwestern Syria. Despite several ceasefire agreements signed between 2013 and 2021, the Russian military has still been dropping illegal munitions and has carried out thousands of air strikes targeting civilian areas. Our Observer, who lives near Idlib in northwestern Syria, told us about his everyday life, punctuated by bombing.
A report released on July 20, 2022 by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC), a Washington-based NGO with European and US analysts working with Syrians on the ground, revealed that Russia has conducted dozens of deliberate air strikes targeting civilians and aid workers in northwestern Syria since 2013.
