Deep foreboding for Aleppo civilians amid alleged executions

Reports have emerged from Syria’s Aleppo city that dozens of civilians - including women and children - have been executed by pro-government forces as they close in on the last remaining neighbourhoods still held by opposition groups.

The UN Human Rights Office, OHCHR, said that civilians have paid a “brutal price” as the Syrian military and its allies take back the city.

The situation has been described as a “complete meltdown of humanity” by UN Humanitarian Coordinating Agency, OCHA.

Here’s Jocelyne Sambira’s report.
