唐纳德·特朗普总统周四在推特上警告几个美国对手不要在与政府军的暴力冲突中杀害叙利亚西北部的无辜平民。
“俄罗斯、叙利亚和伊朗正在伊德利布省杀害或正在杀害数千名无辜平民。不要这样做！”总统在推特上写道。
他补充说，土耳其“正在努力阻止这场大屠杀”
这一警告发出之际，该地区正面临潜在的人道主义危机，反对派试图通过与叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德(Bashar al-Assad)政权的斗争，保持对据称是他们在该地区最后一个据点的控制。
据报道，仅在12月份，俄罗斯和叙利亚部队在伊德利卜省发动的袭击就升级，造成数十名无辜平民死亡，数万人流离失所，据报道，其中许多人在土耳其寻求安全。
12月24日，在伊德利布市以南约7公里处的al-Mastumah村，当来自伊德利布省南部的叙利亚家庭逃离政府军及其盟友的袭击，驱车前往叙利亚-土耳其边境时，男孩们看着一辆满载家具和物品的卡车。
联合国秘书长发言人周二表示，2019年前9个月，有500多名儿童受伤或死亡，本月迄今至少有65名儿童死亡或受伤。在伊德利布省的300多万人中，该政府间组织认为其中一半以上是国内流离失所者。
特朗普在圣诞节后的第二天发出的信息，并不是他第一次警告俄罗斯、叙利亚和伊朗让无辜平民远离肆虐多年的血腥叙利亚内战。
今年6月，在更多报道称政府空袭夺走平民生命的情况下，特朗普宣布，“全世界都在关注这场屠杀。”
总统当时在推特上写道:“听到消息称，俄罗斯、叙利亚和伊朗正在轰炸叙利亚伊德利卜省，不分青红皂白地杀害许多无辜平民。“全世界都在看这场屠杀。目的是什么，它会给你带来什么？住手！”
TRUMP WARNS RUSSIA, SYRIA AND IRAN NOT TO KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN SYRIA'S IDLIB PROVINCE
President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to warn several American adversaries not to kill innocent civilians in the northwestern region of Syria amid violence with government forces.
"Russia, Syria, and Iran are killing, or on their way to killing, thousands of innocent civilians in Idlib Province. Don't do it!" the president wrote on Twitter.
He added that Turkey "is working hard to stop this carnage."
The warning comes amid a potential humanitarian crisis in the region as rebels try to maintain control of what is reportedly their last stronghold in the region with their battle against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
A reported escalation in strikes in the Idlib Province carried out by Russian and Syrian forces in December alone has killed dozens of innocent civilians and displaced tens of thousands of people, many of whom reportedly have sought safety in Turkey.
Boys look on at a truck loaded with furniture and belongings as in the village of al-Mastumah, about seven kilometres south of the city of Idlib on December 24 as Syrian families from the south of Idlib province drive through towards the Syrian-Turkish border fleeing the assault led by government forces and their allies.
A spokesman for the secretary general of the United Nations said Tuesday that more than 500 children were injured or killed in the first nine months of 2019 and at least 65 children so far were killed or injured this month. Of the more than 3 million people in the Idlib Province, the intergovernmental organization believes over half of them have been internally displaced.
Trump's message the day after Christmas was not the first time he's warned Russia, Syria and Iran to leave innocent civilians out of the bloody Syrian civil war that's raged for years.
In June, amid more reported government airstrikes that took the lives of civilians, Trump announced that the "World is watching this butchery."
"Hearing word that Russia, Syria and, to a lesser extent, Iran, are bombing the hell out of Idlib Province in Syria, and indiscriminately killing many innocent civilians," the president tweeted at the time. "The World is watching this butchery. What is the purpose, what will it get you? STOP!"
