Syrian Attack on Displaced-Persons Camp Kills 15

VOA News

   Syrian forces shelled a displaced-persons camp in rebel-held Idlib
   Wednesday, killing at least 15 civilians, anti-government activists
   said.

   The missiles set a number of tents on fire; two missiles fell just
   outside a maternity hospital in the camp in Qah, near the border with
   Turkey.

   The White Helmet rescue group saidsix children were among the dead.

   Idlib province in northwestern Syria is the last major section of the
   country still under rebel control.

   A Russian-brokered truce in August intended to de-escalate the attacks
   by both sides has just about totally collapsed.
