Idlib residents relieved at ceasefire
Residents in northwest Syria expressed relief on Saturday (July 3), at the recently imposed ceasefire in the rebel enclave, which comes after a three-month-long army offensive.
More than 400 civilians have been killed in the escalation since late April and more than 440,000 uprooted, the United Nations said last week.
Mohammed Zair, a resident in the city of Idlib, said he was grateful that so many people were able to return to their homes before the upcoming Eid Al Adha celebration.
University student, Manaf Daher, said while the ceasefire was ultimately a good thing, he was wary of any political concessions which may be made.
Syrian state media had said the ceasefire would start on Thursday (August 1) night if militants fulfilled a Russian-Turkish deal which tried last year to create a demilitarized buffer zone.
