Residents of the Syrian province of Idlib are fearful of a new government offensive, after Russia and Iran rejected calls from Turkey for a ceasefire. Russia, Iran and Turkey were unable to find common ground at a summit on the fate of Idlib, which is Syria's last rebel stronghold. It comes amid warnings over a looming humanitarian crisis in the area, where one and a half million people are internally displaced.
