Amnesty: 110 sites hit in Aleppo in 2 weeks

Amnesty International released new satellite imagery showing that more than 110 sites were hit in two weeks of bombing raids in Syria’s battleground city of Aleppo, Al Arabiya Al Hadath reported Thursday. 

"The scale of the bloodshed and destruction wrought on eastern Aleppo city over the past month is harrowing," said Lynn Maalouf, deputy director of research at Amnesty’s Beirut office.

"Syrian government forces, with the support of Russia, have launched relentless attacks that have flagrantly disregarded fundamental rules of international humanitarian law," she added. 

Maalouf said the apparent use of cluster bombs in east Aleppo was "further evidence of how determined Syrian government forces and their Russian allies are to create a hostile and deadly environment in the city, clearly aimed at driving civilians out at any cost."
