All sides in Syria's war fighting in Aleppo how many is that
All sides in Syria's war fighting in Aleppo - just how many sides are there - al Nusra, Islamic Front, Islamic State, FSA, Syrian government forces, YPG and goodness knows how many other groups
After a brief respite, bombs fell heavily on Aleppo on Sunday (April 24), bringing the city divided between the government and rebels again to the epicenter of the Syrian war.
Fighting resumed on both sides of the city after the collapse of peace talks in Geneva.
The government said it began a new attack to take areas of Aleppo under rebel control, a campaign that would likely aim to seal the last route into rebel-held areas. Air strikes on rebel-held areas have resumed.
Determined to keep their last supply route open, rebels have stepped up their bombardment of government-held areas of the city, and of a predominantly Kurdish district controlled by a group with which they are also at war.
Videos posted on social media website on Sunday (April 24) purported to show streets in what the captions accompanying the videos said were Al Sukkari and Al Sakhour districts of Aleppo. Civil Defense personnel is seen rushing through the streets covered in a cloud of dust and rubble and helping evacuate the wounded.
All the main combatants in the multi-sided Syrian war are fighting in the Aleppo area: insurgents have been waging separate campaigns with the government, the Syrian Kurdish YPG, and Islamic State near the Turkish border.
A short drive from the Turkish border, Aleppo was Syria's biggest city before the conflict, home to more than 2 million people and an engine of the economy.
Today, some 300,000 are estimated to live in rebel-held areas that have sustained heavy casualties and massive destruction as a result of government bombardment that has already forced many to flee.
