Assad's supporters celebrated the army's victory over east Aleppo last night, as the opposition is stuck within only a thin 6-sq-km area with tens of thousands of helpless civilians being subjected to massacre

The regime intensified its assault on east Aleppo on Nov. 15, which had already been under blockade for many months. Yesterday, tens of civilians were cruelly killed on streets of the city where tens of thousands of others are facing massacre after the fall.



The regime had brought most of the city under its grip and around 100,000 civilians were stuck within an 8 sq-km area, according to a statement released yesterday.



Later in the day, Assad's soldiers together with Shiite terrorists burnt 13 women and children alive and executed 67 men by shooting.



Regime's jets reportedly killed 85 civilians by releasing chemical gas on them last night.



On the other hand, Assad's supporters immodestly celebrated the army's victory over east Aleppo last night, while people were being slaughtered in another part of the city.





A matter of life and death in a 6 sq-km area



Following the opposition's withdrawal from 3 more districts, tens of thousands are struggling to survive within a 6 sq-km area under fierce attack of Assad's soldiers and their terrorist accomplices.



Shiite militias and the regime's army are bombing whatever small land is left in east Aleppo without considering civilians.



Due to communication means having been paralyzed, the massacre and looting cannot be documented entirely.



Aleppo massacre was protested in Istanbul and Ankara



Crowds gathered in front of Russia's consulate general on İstiklal Street in Istanbul to voice their support for east Aleppo.



Carrying banners of "Imperialist Russia, Hands off Syria" and chanting against Iran, Russia and Assad, the participants prayed for victims of the massacre.



Meanwhile in Ankara, a group came together near the Russian embassy to protest its Syrian policies and atrocities on civilians.



The UN released a written statement



Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for the secretary general of the UN, stated that monitoring the situation in the besieged Aleppo independently is no longer possible, but they heard massacre news from the region.



More than 1,000 civilians were killed during the siege for weeks. The regime's intense ground assault was accompanied by fierce bombardment of Russian jet fighters.



Around 100,000 Aleppans are reportedly sleeping outside.
