Idlib

The United Nations urged the United States, Russia, Turkey and Iran on April 6 to help establish a 72-hour cease-fire in Syria in order to deliver humanitarian aid, two days after a suspected chemical gas attack killed at least 86 people in the northern Syrian city of Idlib. 

Turkey has expressed hopes that Russia will not use its right to veto on a potential resolution at the United Nations Security Council following a deadly gas attack, allegedly conducted by the Syrian army, around Idlib that killed around 100 civilians. 

There is not much hope for an immediate stabilization in the Middle East as developments in both Iraq and Syria are sufficiently proving. 

Countries across the world and international organizations have reacted to a suspected gas attack in Syria that killed some 58 people, including 11 children, amid calls for international action. 

The United States has said it conducted an air strike in Syria against an al-Qaeda meeting but denied deliberately targeting a mosque where a monitor said 46 people were killed on March 17.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said most of the dead in the raid on al-Jineh, in Aleppo province, were civilians.

The US military said on March 16 it carried out a deadly air strike on an Al-Qaeda meeting in northern Syria and would investigate reports that more than 40 civilians were killed when a mosque was struck in the raid.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım's family has sent three trucks of food aid to the opposition-held city of Idlib in Syria, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

Some 220 seriously injured civilians from Aleppo have been treated in Turkey following the evacuation of the war-battered Syrian city of Aleppo, Turkish authorities said Dec. 24.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on "all parties and the international community to abide by" the Turkey-brokered truce in Aleppo on Dec. 16, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

On his official Twitter account, Erdogan wrote Friday: "The Turkey-brokered truce in Aleppo and the continuation of evacuations is the only hope left for innocent people. 

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Dec. 15 that the United States would create "safe zones" in Syria, a demand Turkey had been longing for and just as the evacuation of civilians and rebels from the besieged parts of Syria's Aleppo was ongoing.
