Destruction is seen in Aleppo’s Bustan al-Basha

Destruction is seen in Aleppo’s Bustan al-Basha neighbourhood on November 28, 2016, during Syrian pro-government forces assault to retake the entire northern city from rebel fighters. Government forces have retaken a third of rebel-held territory in Aleppo, forcing nearly 10,000 civilians to flee as they pressed their offensive to retake Syria’s second city. In a major breakthrough in the push to retake the whole city, regime forces captured six rebel-held districts of eastern Aleppo over the weekend, including Masaken Hanano, the biggest of those in eastern Aleppo.
