ALEPPO, Syria — The spokesman for the Ministry of Development and Humanitarian Affairs in the opposition’s Syrian Salvation Government said Dec. 21 that shelters were being provided to deal with the recent displacement crisis in Idlib’s southern countryside that resulted from government forces’ shelling of civilian cities and towns.

On Dec. 12, it was announced that the opposition government was being reshuffled, with Ali Keda as prime minister and 10 ministerial portfolios.
