Today, 10 schools have been targeted by Syrian and Russian forces in #Idlib & #Aleppo countryside. As a state party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Syrian government's deliberate destruction of schools violates International Humanitarian Law.

Rest in Peace, Safia Eid. It is absolutely unbelievable & unacceptable that teachers are KILLED BY BOMBS DROPPED ON SCHOOLS. Syrian kids need books & education, not bombs. #BooksNotBombs

Students around the world are going #BacktoSchool but in Idlib many of the schools are not operating, having either been bombed or repurposed as shelters. The existing schools can only take 300,000 of the 650,000 school-age children in the area alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…

We've had feedback over the last week that some people are unhappy with our plan to offer up to 14 scholarships to refugees living in the local area. To these people, we would like to say: Tough. Jog on. rdg.ac/2MIc7PZ

The regime forces targeted the town #Badma in the western countryside of #Idlib by dozens of “phosphorus” rockets causing fires in the agricultural land. White Helmets teams were able to control it without any casualties.
