In Syria, the province of Idlib, the last remaining large rebel stronghold, is seeing a spike in Covid-19 cases. This new wave of infections comes two weeks after Syrian refugees in Turkey were granted permission to visit relatives in the enclave. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer tells us more.
Syria's Civil Defence, known as the White Helmets, assess the damage at the site of regime shelling in the village of Ariha in the northwestern rebel-held Idlib Province. The heavy bombardment by government forces came in apparent retaliation to a drone strike at a Syrian military academy that killed 112 people in government-held Homs on Thursday 5 October. Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, Syrian state media blamed “armed terrorist organisations” for the attack. Swathes of Idlib province are controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, led by Al-Qaeda's former Syria branch. The jihadist group has used drones to attack government-held areas in the past.

Displaced Syrians take refuge at a camp as they wait for an expected government assault on Syria's last rebel-held province, Idlib, and surrounding areas that could displace as many as 800,000 people already in a dire humanitarian situation, a representative of the United Nations Humanitarian Coordination Office (OCHA) warned in Damascus during an interview with AFP.
