UN raises alarm over Syria as opposition groups press Hama offensive

The United Nations has expressed alarm over spiralling violence in Syria as opposition groups continue to battle pro-government forces in the central province of Hama, and fighters from a US-backed, Kurdish-led coalition battle government forces in the country’s northeast. State news agency SANA said Syrian troops were fighting fierce battles in the central Hama province on Tuesday. Syrian and Russian warplanes carried out air attacks in the northern Hama countryside, according to state media. The violence has forced 50,000 people to flee their homes in recent days, the UN said on Monday. Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reports.
