“A Complete Meltdown of Humanity”

Aleppo, being one of the largest cities in Syria, is facing a major military confrontation. Thousands of civilians, including women and children, are killed within a short period of time.

“With over four years of fighting, the battle of Aleppo represents one of the longest sieges in modern warfare, which left an estimated 31,114 people dead, almost a tenth of the overall Syrian war casualties. The Violations Documentation Center in Syria assessed the death toll. According to its records, between 19 July 2012 and 15 December 2016 there were 22,633 adult male deaths (73%), 2,849 adult female deaths (9.2%), 3,773 child male deaths (12.2 %) and 1,775 child female deaths (5.7%). 23,604 or 76% of all fatalities were civilians, while only 7,406 or 24% were military deaths. Causes of death were explosions (910 deaths), shelling (6,384 deaths), field execution (1,549 deaths), shooting (9,438 deaths), warplane bombardment (11,233 deaths), chemical and toxic gas attacks (46 deaths) and others.”
