Russia have been using aerial bombardment to end the Syrian uprising in the province of Idlib from past few weeks which have resulted in the death of at least 152 civilians including dozens of children.
Rescue workers from Idlib told Reuters that in just one week 152 dead bodies were recovered from rubble while 279 people were injured. Salem Abu al Azem from rescue group Civil Defense said that the bombardment has been indiscriminate without any care for civilians.

During these few days 6 hospitals, 5 defense centers, 2 power stations and dozens of residential areas were attacked. It is believed that civilians, medical centers and infrastructure are being targeted to force the rebels for a truce. This practice was also used in other parts of Syria where Russia and Syrian forces received success on heavy casualty loss.

The bombing have increased in last few days after Russian President Putin met his counterpart Turkish President Erdogan. It is expected that a deal was struck between the two leaders.
