The assault that began on June 19 of the combination of the army of
Syria's president Bashar al-Assad and bombs from Russian warplanes is
threatening a massive humanitarian disaster greater than the combined
sizes of the the humanitarian disasters at Aleppo and Ghouta.

Daraa is supposed to be part of a "de-escalation zone," based on peace
talks last year in Astana, Kazakhstan, between Russia, Iran and
Turkey. An outcome was that Russia and the US agreed that the US
would oversee the ceasefire in Daraa.

Promises and agreements mean nothing to Russia and Syria, and they
never intended to honor the ceasefire. The US does usually honor its
promises, but in this case has chosen not to intervene, rather than
get pulled into yet another war, this time a full-scale war with Syria
and Russia.

Bashar al-Assad has already begun the process that he's used in the
past in Aleppo and Ghouta. He begins by bombing peaceful protesters,
particularly women and children. As soon as someone become violent in
revenge, he declares the whole community or ethnic group to be
"terrorists," and uses that as an excuse for full-scale genocide and
ethnic cleansing. The genocide is performed with missiles, barrel
bombs, chlorine gas and Sarin gas, all particularly targeting women
and children, as well as schools, markets, and hospitals.

The ethnic cleansing is accomplished by making it impossible for
refugees to return to their homes. Last month, Syria's government passed 'Law #10',

which makes it almost impossible for refugees to return to their
former homes. There are millions of Syrian refugees who have fled to
Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Europe and other countries who will not be
able to return home, and are effectively stranded in the country they
fled to.

The situation in southwestern Syria is perfect for al-Assad. By the
time it's over, millions of people will flee their homes, but they'll
have nowhere to go, as they'll be blocked by Jordanian and Israeli
authorities from going south. The refugees will be amassed on the
borders, where al-Assad can kill them like fish in a barrel.

Refugees from Aleppo and Ghouta were able to flee to Idlib province in
northwestern Syria. Idlib is in another de-escalation zone, with
Turkey having the responsibility to oversee the ceasefire.

Turkey is currently worried that it is facing the worst possible
scenario in Idlib. There are currently 2.5 million people living in
Idlib, and 1.2 million people from this figure were displaced and took
refuge in Idlib. As one analyst put it, "Idlib has no Idlib," which
means that when Bashar al-Assad begins genocide and ethnic cleansing
in Idlib, then people who try to flee will have no place to go, except
possibly north through the border into Turkey. Turkey already hosts
millions of Syrian refugees, and is very concerned that it might be
forced to open its borders again to millions more. Hurriyet (Ankara) and Guardian (London) and Hurriyet (Ankara)

According to UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, the number of people
displaced by Syria's army and Russia's warplanes in southern Syria is
now at 160,000 -- more than triple what it was on Monday, when the
figure was 45,000.

Most are headed south to Jordan, but are trapped at the border, since
Jordan has closed the border. A smaller number have gone west and are
on the border with Israel-controlled Golan Heights. That border has
also been closed by Israel.

Jordan estimates that it is already hosting some 1.3 million refugees,
and earlier this week said that it is unable to host a new wave of
refugees, and so the border will remain closed. Several thousand
Syrians gathered near sealed crossing on Saturday, pleading to no
avail to enter Jordan.

However, Jordan's army began delivering humanitarian aid to thousands
of displaced Syrians along the border. According to government
spokesman Jumana Ghunaimat, "This is in line with Jordan's stance to
help our Syrian brothers. These include essential foodstuffs and
drinking water."

Israel has transferred several dozen tons of humanitarian aid to
refugee encampments in southwestern Syria. According to Israel's
army, the humanitarian aid contained some 300 tents, 13 tons of food,
15 tons of baby food, three pallets of medical supplies and 30 tons of
clothes and shoes. Israel's defense minister Avigdor Liberman said
that Israel was prepared to provide humanitarian assistance, but that
“we will not accept any Syrian refugees into our territory.” Times of Israel and Middle East Eye and Anadolu
