Aleppo faces unprecedented regime massacre

Iran and the Russia-supported Bashar al-Assad regime of Syria and Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists continue to decimate the city and kill civilians after weeks-long intense airstrikes.

The Assad regime subjected airstrikes on eastern Aleppo, leaving 61 people killed, 120 others wounded only in the last 48 hours. With the recent attacks; the total number of the civilian fatalities reached 889 in 22 days.

Until 22 days ago, 65 percent of the city was controlled by the moderate opposition, while 21 neighborhoods of the city are controlled by the regime forces and the Shi'ite militia.

The neighborhoods under control of Assad and Shi'ite militia include Miyesser, Katırcı, Kadıasker, Kerm el Cebel, Meyselun, Bab al-Hadid, Kermut Tahan, Bostanpaşa, Sheikh Faris and Sahor, according to the Abu Amara Brigade Commander Muhannah Caffala.

However, the civilians who are stuck in Aleppo face a major desperation, as they cannot properly bury their killed relatives, due to the continuous attacks launched by the Assad regime.

“The families cannot bid farewell to their relatives, because they are buried at the spot where they are killed due to the brutal attacks," said the former President of the Aleppo Local Assembly, Abdulaziz Mogribi, in his speech in Turkish Yeni Şafak daily newspaper.

“Since the beginning of the revolution, the largest number of people were martyred in Aleppo," Mogribi said.

An Aleppo resident, Faris Abu Islam, said that the Turkmen neighborhoods of Aleppo are being shared between the Assad regime and the terrorist organizations.

“God will never forget us and open a way out of this situation," said Islam, adding that only Turkey is standing by them against such brutal attacks.

The statements of the residents revealed the brutality of the war and the sufferings of the civilians.

“Due to the war, 4 liters of water cost 100 lira and we cannot find any bread. Even if we can find it, four loaves of bread cost 100 lira. If Turkey hadn't been standing by us; the civilians here would have died long before," he added.

The moderate opposition called for a 5-day-long ceasefire to evacuate the civilians to the north of the city.

“The world should understand that our biggest concern is protecting the safety of the lives and properties of the civilians, who believe in us and prevent them from being killed by the brutal attacks of the regime," moderate opposition council said.

“The five-year long efforts of the regime aim at racial extermination. They rape the women as they are taking revenge from them," the council said.

The ceasefire proposal asks that 500 seriously wounded people be taken to the hospital, that the residents who want to leave the city be settled north of the city and that talks to be initiated after the evacuation are completed.

Around 300,000 civilians residing in Aleppo are subjected to death threats under the ceaseless airstrikes targeting the opposition-controlled neighborhoods of the city.

However, more than 10 percent of the total residents are now facing PKK/PYD threats, as they remain in the parts that the terrorist organization occupies.

Russia and the Assad regime are known to bomb Aleppo, the Syrian province located 50 kilometers from Turkey, as a part of terrorist organizations' and Assad's target to control northern Syria by taking the land from the moderate opposition.

The civil war in Syria has killed more than 250,000 people, according to the United Nations. The Syrian Center for Policy Research has established that the total death toll from conflict stands at more than 470,000.
