of a syrian government air raid in adlib a volunteer races to rescue injured children from the rubble observers are warning that the battle for the region could have a terrible humanitarian toll it libya is the last rebel stronghold with some $3000000.00 people packed together in close quarters rights groups say the effects of the battle will be felt across the world. displaced people will soon move towards other countries they have potential refugees if the status quo continues. the european union and the whole world will be suffering a new wave of refugees to be short on the borders of many countries around the world they are already considered dead in italy so they have nothing to lose. you know the truce was brokered between russia and turkey to support the posen sides in the war the u.n. insists it's pushing both to that here to the ceasefire we are strongly encouraging

both russia and turkey to continue working together and to make sure that this single human is them being implemented on their own so this is what i'm continuing to hearing but of course we need to see it as i said to be implemented. russian and turkish leaders are scheduled to hold talks on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit at the end of june the fate of adlib tied to their fragile relationship let's get more now from 2 yakkers and he's with the aid agency care international and joins me from gaza in turkey just across the syrian border to a thanks for joining me what more can you tell us about the situation in live at the moment. i think it's fair to say that it's a very dramatic situation and look at the moment the last month has seen significant high levels of violence there shelling means use of barrel bombs and it is forests what the u.n.

has missed the more than 270000 people on the move. we've had hope that the orphans it was of slow down as political pressure will go up for it for a political solution but that hasn't happened and so now we are extremely nervous that you see a lot higher numbers of displaced the north was very bored is it safe for aid agencies like yours to work in and around it live at the short answer is no. it is only one of the most dangerous places in the world to conduct military aid work at the moment we've seen hospitals and health facilities being directly targeted as well as indirectly affected by the markets we see in schools being evicted we've seen water stations giving to be seen and millions is shot at it's extremely dangerous and care continues to call for all party to the conflict to respect it mission communitarian local into do everything they can to prevent the targeting of humanitarian workers and civilians of the conflict in that report we had that n.g.o.s warning of quote new waves of refugees fleeing from it live

towards places like europe do you share that concern. this is difficult to predict where people will have i think it's important to remember most of all right now that syria the neighboring countries of syria right now hosting more than 5300000 refugees that they've taken a tremendous responsibility on both politically and economically to hold those refugees in care we call for an international community to share that responsibility we need to continue to support those countries to provide services that are important for the syrian cities but also to take responsibility terms of asylum seekers and welcoming of responsible share of people needing to have protection as he said neighboring countries are bearing a lot of the brunt that a turkey being one of them is taking prepared to take in more refugees we don't know i think it's important to remember that turkey is the big revealed in country in the world right now in care operates in turkey we're trying to support the

syrian community here as best as we can but obviously no country in the world is ready to take in the 3000000 people through being hosted living in italy so the only solution to the jewish intuition is not the turbulence of the borders it's that the violence is going to stop and that's a political solution and that has been a safe fire in the region for a couple of months why do you think it's falling apart now you know it's difficult to to be behind the scenes of that i think it's important to remember that it is the last rebel strong will be all known for since last year that the syrian government had intentions to take back the syrian military it's no big surprise the ceasefire has been in place but it was contingent on the political process that would have produced the results those results of law comes through and now we're seeing russian syrian government putting pressure back on the little kitchen table unfortunately very significant civilian consequences as was all. very active some
