Wall Street Journal: Aleppo Conditions Worsen Under Siege
Opposition officials and aid workers said Syria and Russia aim to force quick surrender
The Syrian regime and its Russian allies are heavily bombarding hospitals, markets, utilities and aid warehouses in the besieged, rebel-controlled half of Aleppo, according to opposition officials and aid workers who said it was a concerted effort to force rebels and residents to surrender quickly.
The regime succeeded last month in encircling and cutting off the rebel-held eastern side of Aleppo after more than two years of attempts. The bombardment of infrastructure since has led to deteriorating humanitarian conditions for an estimated 300,000 people under siege, the officials and aid workers said.
Food supplies in the city are expected to last for only a few more weeks, according to the United Nations and aid agencies.
