First responders in Syria’s Idlib province are risking their lives to save others while they increasingly become targets of regime and Russian attacks

A White Helmet first responder stands next to a Russian made missile after an airstrike in the town Sarmin in the northern Idlib province on March 12, 2019.

In the past few months humanitarian workers and health facilities in northern Syria's Idlib province have been under heavy bombardment from regime and Russian planes. Targeting health facilities is supposed to be a war crime, but last month, three more first responders were killed in what witness say was a deliberate attack.

Rescue workers are targeted so often by Syrian regime forces that there's a name for the tactic, a double tap strike. After an initial strike, warplanes circle around and hit the target a second time, often targeting first responders.
