Aleppo!! - Posted on 2016-12-08 by Jermaine Gibbs

       Aleppo!!  Aleppo is a city, and it is located in the country of Syria, also considered to be the largest city in population. My reason for writing this blog about Aleppo, is because of the on going civil war that been taking place there and other parts of Syria. Every mornings that I rise up out of my bed and turns on the television or log on to a news website, it's heartbreaking to see a beautiful city becomes war-ravaged by rebels and the government of Syria and its alley. Whenever I saw a scene from Aleppo, I seen people literally begging for help from the outside world, tears fill up my eyes, running down my cheeks to see adults and children wounded and their home as been bomb by their own government, which often times result in mass killing over a period of time. The people of Aleppo are tired of the war they have to face on a day to days basis, by the expression on their faces, you can tell that they are frustrated and exhausted. The city has been control by rebel groups for years, but the Syrian government decided to takes back control of Aleppo, they started bombing and firing missiles where they think rebels are, they careless if innocent citizens are living in that area with the rebels. The people of Aleppo are in dying need of humanitarian assistance, majority of them are hungry and malnourished, many of them hadn't  changed their clothes in days. Now the situation in Aleppo is far more than a crisis, the Syrian government army has suspended combat operations in eastern Aleppo, the move is to allow for evacuation of civilians trapped in battle zone. According to the Syrian government, their forces has retaken 75% of east Aleppo in recent weeks - areas rebels had controlled for four years. Finally, I just hope the people of Aleppo can get some form of relieve, especially the children of that land, my prayers and best of wishes goes out to the people of Syria. Peace!!
