Syrian Family among 10 Killed in Aleppo Air Raid
[AnNahar] Syrian regime forces dumped barrel bombs Monday on a rebel-held area of Aleppo killing 10 civilians, including a family of four, a monitoring group said.
An Agence La Belle France Presse correspondent who later toured the area said the raids also caused heavy destruction in Bab al-Nairab neighborhood in the old district of Aleppo, Syria's second city.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said five barrel bombs were dropped on the district killing 10 civilians, including a man, his wife and their two children, as well as three other children and a woman.
The raids inflicted heavy damage to buildings in Bab al-Nairab where volunteers were sifting through mounds of blood-stained debris to search for survivors, said the AFP correspondent.
"We are hearing voices but we cannot locate them because of the destruction," a rescuer said, as the body of a man and a teenager were pulled out of the debris.
