The International Committee of the Red Cross says seven of its workers have been kidnapped in northern Syria.
Spokesman Saleh Dabbakeh said gunmen abducted the team near the town of Saraqeb in Idlib province on Sunday morning.
He said six of the people are ICRC workers and one is a volunteer from the Syrian Red Crescent.
It was unclear what nationalities the workers were.
It comes after Syrian rebels claimed they had shot a government warplane on Sunday near the southern city of Deraa.
Fighters used anti-aircraft machine guns to hit the plane, but it was able to make an emergency landing at nearby Thala military airport.
Syrian state media has not confirmed the incident.
