Two hundred air strikes by Syrian government and Russian warplanes have hit Syria's Idlib region in the last three days, the U.S. special envoy for Syria James Jeffrey said on Thursday.

Jeffrey told a press briefing that some 700,000 displaced people in northwest Syria were "on the move towards the Turkish border, which would then create an international crisis."
