Air Raids Kill at Least 76 in Syria’s Aleppo

By Nour ElSayed On Dec 16, 2013

On Sunday, the Britain-based anti-regime Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that government aircraft released barrels packed with explosives on the Haidariya and Ard Al Hamra neighborhoods of rebel-controlled Aleppo.

At least 76 people were reportedly killed, including 28 children and four women.

The Aleppo Media Centre, a group of activists there, called the raids on the northern city “unprecedented”.

Since the Syrian conflict broke out in the spring of 2011, over 126,000 people have been killed, while millions more have fled their homes.

Here’s what the aftermath of the air raids looked like:

Nour El Sayed has always been fascinated by photography and art. She spends most of her time trying to combine both and ending up with a triumph. After receiving her AS in Graphic Design, she decided to integrate all three and hoping that one day her work could be widely exhibited. If there's one thing she learnt in life it's that “In a time of destruction, create something.”

She also finds it amusing to write her bio in the third person and happily indulges herself.
