Two months of attacks on Aleppo by the Assad regime have left the historic Syrian city in ruins. Municipal services have been cut, leaving neighborhoods without electricity or drinking water, health centers closed, and police stations abandoned. Reports have consistently noted uncollected corpses left uncollected in the open. On Monday, a mortar fired into a mosque killed 11 people and injured 20. The ongoing civil war has triggered a refugee crisis, pushing the total number of worldwide refugees to record numbers, and the Assad regime has reportedly considered providing chemical weapons to the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah to use directly against Syrian civilians.
