The United Nations is warning of an impending humanitarian catastrophe in the Syrian province of Idlib, one of the last rebel-held territories in Syria, which is also home to at least a million Syrian civilians who have been displaced from other parts of the country. This is U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.
Filippo Grandi: “The fact remains that it’s very difficult to get out of the country, so people get internally displaced. So they are refugees in their own country. And even those options are becoming less and less. We’ve seen it in the most dramatic phase of the Ghouta offensive. So, the country is becoming a trap, is becoming, in some places, a death trap for civilians.”
