UN Alarmed by Fighting in Aleppo

In light of the collapse of the truce between the Syrian army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric reminded all parties involved that they are obligated under international humanitarian law to protect civilians.

This appeal comes as conflicts in the region intensify, making the situation increasingly dire for the civilian population.
