Idlib school attack could be deadliest since Syrian war began, says UN

Top UN official describes attack on school in rebel-held northern Syria that killed at least 35 people as an outrage and possible war crime

Airstrikes in rebel-held Idlib province on Wednesday were possibly the deadliest attack on a school since the Syria
war began, a top UN official has said, describing the incident as an “outrage” and a possible war crime.
The strikes by Syrian or Russian warplanes killed at least 35 people, most of them schoolchildren, rescue workers and a monitoring group have said.
“This is a tragedy. It is an outrage. And if deliberate, it is a war crime,” said Unicef’s executive director, Anthony Lake.
