Since the start of February, the displacement figure was a staggering 300,000, he said.

"Over the past four days alone, some 43,000 newly displaced people have fled western Aleppo where fighting has been particularly fierce," UN spokesman David Swanson told AFP news agency.

The wave is the biggest since the start of the civil war nearly nine years ago. It is the largest exodus of civilians since World War II.
