EU calls for cease of bombing in Idlib

The European Union called for a cease of bombing on Wednesday in Syria's Idlib province and said Russia, Turkey, Iranian regime and the Assad regime must protect civilians under siege.

In a statement, top EU diplomat Federica Mogherini and the bloc's humanitarian aid chief Christos Stylianides demanded Assad regime, Russia, Turkey and Iranian regime "fulfill immediately their responsibilities and commitments, and ensure the immediate protection of civilians."

It added: "Indiscriminate attacks on women and children and other civilians, their displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure cannot be justified under any circumstances."

The UN says an estimated 3 million people are caught in the crossfire.
