UN Calls for Peace as Syria Faces Worst Fighting in Years
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has demanded an immediate halt to hostilities in northwest Syria after rebel groups launched a major offensive, sparking the region’s bloodiest clashes since 2020. 💥
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a UN-designated terrorist group, and allied factions recently seized parts of Aleppo city and pushed toward Hama province, displacing tens of thousands and causing civilian casualties, according to UN reports. Over 400 militants have reportedly been killed in Syrian army counterattacks backed by Russian forces.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric warned of damaged infrastructure, disrupted aid, and families fleeing under fire. Guterres stressed compliance with international law, urging safe escape routes for civilians and a return to UN-led peace talks under Security Council Resolution 2254.
\"Syrians have endured conflict for nearly 14 years. They deserve a political horizon, not more bloodshed,\"
the UN chief declared, pushing for engagement with his Syria envoy.
Frontline Chaos
Syrian state TV claimed government forces repelled rebel attacks in Hama, while the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported rare rebel rocket strikes hitting Hama’s al-Baath neighborhood, killing six civilians. 🚨 Drone activity and aerial defenses further complicated the chaos.
With frontlines shifting daily, analysts fear the violence could derail fragile peace efforts. Stay tuned for updates as this crisis unfolds.
