Thousands of residents are fleeing the northern Syrian city of Aleppo as rebel groups intensify their assault, heightening fears of a humanitarian crisis. According to local media reports, the rebels have fired shells at a dormitory and have taken significant control over parts of the city.
On November 29, shells struck a dormitory in Aleppo, causing panic among civilians. The following day, rebel forces announced the formation of a “military government” and imposed a citywide curfew. The sudden escalation has left many residents scrambling to find safety.
“We heard explosions throughout the night,” said one resident who wished to remain anonymous. “The situation is getting worse, and we fear for our lives.”
The conflict in Aleppo marks a significant escalation in Syria’s ongoing turmoil, further complicating efforts to reach a peaceful resolution. International observers are expressing concern over the safety of civilians and the potential for increased displacement.
Humanitarian organizations are urging all parties to protect civilians and allow for safe passage out of conflict zones. Meanwhile, the residents of Aleppo face an uncertain future as they leave behind their homes in search of safety.
