The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed on Friday that more than 120,000 civilians have been forced to flee their homes after the Syrian regime launched a fierce offensive in the rebel-held southwest.

Most of the uprooted civilians have flocked to the border with Jordan and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights even as the two countries refuse to take in more refugees, reports Reuters.

The assault by the Russia-backed Syrian army in the southwest, including a “de-escalation zone,” has killed 93 civilians since June 19, writes The Jerusalem Post.
