The Guardian: Idlib casualties mount as assault leaves aid efforts in the balance

The deaths were reported on Wednesday, 24 hours after a senior U.N. official had warned the Security Council that aid efforts in the enclave were in danger of being ‘overwhelmed.’ … [Ursula Mueller, the U.N.’s assistant secretary general for humanitarian affairs,] added: ‘Since 28 April, that is in the last four weeks, a total of 25 attacks on health care have been reported by the World Health Organization, including on 22 health facilities, with some having been hit more than once’…” (Beaumont, 5/29).
