Yesterday, over 10,000 civilians left the rebel-held parts of Aleppo city in order to escape the volatile battle-zone. Unfortunately, dozens of people were caught in crossfire while others were blantantly shot by insurgents who were seemingly unsatsified with the eastern Aleppo residents’ untimely departure.
According to Damascus and Moscow, Islamist rebels in the provincial capital of Aleppo have used civilians as human shields for months as to blend in with the local population and reduce their own casualties.
