Strike kills 4 at fuel depot in North West Syria

Four people were killed when a fuel depot was targeted by Syrian government airstrikes in northwest Syria, opposition activists said.  

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Syria war monitor, reported that 4 people were killed and 3 were injured in a target on a fuel market in Idlibcountryside. Volunteers from the organisation worked on putting out the fire which worsened with the flammable fuel. Idlib province is the last rebel stronghold in war-torn Syria, and is home to about 3 million people, many of them internally displaced.

It is regularly bombed by Syrian President Bashar Assad's government. Syria's decade-old conflict has killed nearly half a million people and displaced half the country's pre-war population of 23 million.
