(Baonghean.vn) - In November 2012, Syria plunged into war between the army of President Bashar al-Assad's government and extremist Islamic organizations, including international terrorist organizations such as Jabhat Al-Nusra (Al Qaeda Syria) and the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS).
Fierce fighting quickly spread to Aleppo because of its strategic political and economic location and population. The war left the city, once recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site for its ancient beauty and long-standing architecture, devastated by bombs and homemade missiles.
Let's follow the severe consequences that Aleppo city residents have to bear through the photo series below.
