ALEPPO CEASE- FIRE ENDS IN SYRIA, BOMBING RESUMES
Fighting resumed Sunday in Aleppo, Syria, after a three- day “humanitarian” cease- fire ended without residents actually leaving the eastern parts of the war- torn city.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it wasn't aware of a single person who evacuated through any of the eight approved evacuation routes, according to CNN. Local groups have said residents either feared an ambush along the routes or were suspicious that the Syrian and Russian governments encouraged the evacuations to clear rebels from the area.
The United Nations hoped the cease- fire would allow people who have been seriously injured in the constant fighting around Aleppo in recent months to leave and receive medical care.
