Reports suggest that dozens of people were killed and many were injured on 5 May in an air strike on a refugee camp in northern Syria (close to the border with Turkey). Either the Syrian Government or its Russian allies are believed to have staged the strike. The attack comes a day after Russia and the US recommitted to the ceasefire, pressing their allies to do the same. In response to this attack, Turkey has launched airstrikes against targets inside Syria. The attack was widely condemned, with the White House issuing a statement saying that there was no justifiable excuse for carrying out an air strike against innocent civilians.
