Escalated Aleppo Fighting Leaves Few Roads to Refuge
2016-04-25
After a short-lived ceasefire gradually collapsed, bombs have started falling heavily on Aleppo, leaving people there with no choice but to think again about whether it is time to get out of a city at the epicenter of the Syrian war.

The brief normalcy brought by a truce has vanished, emptying, again, the parks and streets of the war-torn country. Residents count the explosions and the dead across the frontlines of a city divided between the government and rebels.

Hope does not loom on the horizon, especially with the government talking about a new attack against the areas of Aleppo under anti-government forces control. Such a campaign would likely aim to close up the last route into rebel-held areas. Air strikes on rebel-held areas have resumed.
