Russia announced that pro-Syrian government has reportedly taken control of Aleppo after four years of fierce battle against rebel forces.
Our Facebook newsfeeds and Twitter feeds were once dominated by the photo of five-year-old Syrian kid covered in dust with blood and tears trickling down his cheeks after he was found under the rubble following an airstrike in the city. He has become the face of many children cowering in fear in empty houses in the city.
With the recent victory at hand, a deal to evacuate the people has been reached, but the United Nations claimed that there were credible reports saying that civilians were being gunned down by pro-government forces for any record of insurgency. However, some people fear that mistaken identity will be at play and they will be executed right then. The report added that most of the victims include women and children.
Meanwhile, refugees are posting their dying messages on Twitter seeking for help to escape the city thinking that they will not see the daylight due to the crackdown. Below are some of the heart breaking tweets of people about #Aleppo.
