New York, June 14 (Just Earth News):Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday condemned the abhorrent attack carried out yesterday in Idlib city, Syria, which hit a vegetable market and the only bakery in the area.

“The apparent air strike took place while a ceasefire stipulated in the Four Towns Agreement, which covers Idlib city, had reportedly been restored over the weekend,” indicated a statement issued by  Ban's spokesperson.

Local sources reported that the attack left dozens of civilians, including women and children, dead or wounded.

“The Secretary-General extends his deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured. He calls on all those responsible for attacks on civilians to be held accountable,” the statement concluded.
