The United Nations warned there was a major increase in violence in Idlib since Syrian forces started an operation to retake the province earlier this year, according to Deutsche Welle.
UN Human rights chief Michelle Bachelet regretted "international indifference" to the situation on Friday.
"These are civilian objects, and it seems highly unlikely, given the persistent pattern of such attacks, that they are all being hit by accident," Bachelet said, noting several hospitals and schools have been hit during the attacks.
More than 400,000 people have been displaced since the offensive began in April, according to David Swanson from the UN's humanitarian coordination office (OCHA).
Swanson said more than 2,700 people died during the "dramatic escalation" in violence across the province.
The UN also said Russia has been helping government forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad with continued airstrikes, despite having an international truce.
The United Kingdom-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it registered 39 attacks on health facilities and at least 50 on schools.
It also said 740 civilians had been killed in the airstrikes.
"Intentional attacks against civilians are war crimes, and those who have ordered them or carried them out are criminally responsible for their actions," Bachelet aid.
Syrian forces have retaken around two-thirds of Syria's territory.
Reuters reported on Friday an American tourist has been released from Syria after negotiators from Lebanon helped broker the deal, according to Lebanese security chief Abbas Ibrahim.
Lebanon said the individual who is being returned to the U.S. is not a dual citizen and is not journalist Austin Tice, who has been missing for several years.
“Lebanon has worked on mediating through General Abbas Ibrahim to release an American and he was handed over to his family already. The American is not Tice because it is not known where he is,” the security official said.
Syria's civil war has already claimed the lives of more than 370,000 people and displaced millions since it began in 2011.
